[Python-3000] bytes and dicts (was: PEP 3137: Immutable Bytesand Mutable Buffer)

[Guido van Rossum]

I see no other solution to this thread than to revert the decision
that comparing bytes and str raises TypeError. It may catch a trivial
mistake or two, but the far from trivial, subtle issues it causes for
more sophisticated code just aren't worth it. I'll add this to PEP
3137.
