[New-bugs-announce] [issue17904] bytes should be listed as built-in function for 2.7

[Florent Xicluna]

New submission from Florent Xicluna:

Looking into the summary table, there's no information about the `bytes` built-in alias for `str`:
http://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html

IMHO it should appear in this table (as str, unicode, bytearray) with the appropriate `.. versionadded:`.
