[Python-3000] Should PyString (new bytes type) accept strings with encoding?

[Guido van Rossum]

Correct. Sorry. Here's an improved table that I'm also adding to the PEP:

C name       | 2.x    repr | 3.0a1 repr | 3.0a2         repr
-------------+-------------+------------+-------------------
PyUnicode    | unicode u"" | str     "" | str             ""
PyString     | str      "" | str8   s"" | bytes          b""
PyBytes      | N/A         | bytes  b"" | buffer buffer(b"")
PyBuffer     | buffer  N/A | buffer N/A | N/A
PyMemoryView | N/A         | N/A        | memoryview
N/A-------------+-------------+------------+-------------------
