I also would really like to see a real port of the bytes class to 2.6, but I have a vague memory that there was some reason that wouldn't work.
Not so much that it wouldn't work, but that the interfaces to support using it effectively really aren't there - lots of areas in the standard library needed to be tweaked to cope with bytes objects in 3.x.
Generally speaking, the "bytes = str" trick represents a reasonable compromise as the APIs that you would pass a bytes object to in 3.x expect an 8-bit str instance in 2.x.
Could you please add such hints, tricks and tips to the wiki page:
