[New-bugs-announce] [issue27572] Support bytes-like objects when base is given to int()

[Xiang Zhang]

New submission from Xiang Zhang:

Right now, int() supports bytes-like objects when *base* is not given:

>>> int(memoryview(b'100'))
100

When *base* is given bytes-like objects are not supported:

>>> int(memoryview(b'100'), base=2)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: int() can't convert non-string with explicit base

Is there any obvious reason not to support it when *base* is given? I suggest add it.
