[issue32078] string result of str(bytes()) in Python3

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at gmail.com> added the comment:

Calling str(bytes) is wrong in Python 3:

$ python3 -bb
Python 3.6.2 (default, Oct  2 2017, 16:51:32) 
>>> str(b'abc')
BytesWarning: str() on a bytes instance

Just don't do that :-)

Use repr(bytes) if you want the b'...' format:

>>> repr(b'abc')
"b'abc'"
