Therefore you shouldn't accept integers. It does not make sense to format 4 as b'4'.
Agreed. I would have that it would result in b'\x04'.
The PEP proposes b'%c' % 4 => b'\x04. Antoine gave me a good argument against supporting b'%s' % int: how would int subclasses be handled? int has no __bytes__() nor __bformat__() method. bytes(int) returns a string of null bytes. I'm maybe simpler to only support %s format with bytes-like objects (bytes, bytearray, memoryview). Victor
