New submission from Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org>:

Python 2 has a -b command-line option which is undocumented.

It is used by the warnings machinery to decide to warn about (-b) or raise an error (-bb) if someone uses str(bytes) or str(buffer) (explanation courtesy of grep and Python/pythonrun.c).
