What does b'%s' % 7 do?
See Examples of the PEP:
b'a%sc%s' % (b'b', 4) gives b'abc4'

And then what? Use the "default" encoding? ASCII?
Bytes have no encoding. There are just bytes :-)
Therefore you shouldn't accept integers. It does not make sense to format 4 as b'4'.
IMO the typical usecase will by b'%s: %s' % (b'Header', binary_data)
Agreed. Regards Antoine.
