[issue47025] bytes do not work on sys.path

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon <brett at python.org> added the comment:

I think it depends on whether we want to say the standard/included/built-in import mechanisms don't support byte paths, or byte paths are entirely not supported even for 3rd-party code? I definitely think we should at least do the former, but I'm hesitant to close the door for those that need it by doing the latter.
