[Python-ideas] bytes indexing behavior

Hi,

While I prefer Python 2's indexing behaviour, IMHO that ship has sailed.
Python 3.5 is probably seeing massive adoption now, and by introducing
another behaviour switch we only confuse users and make their lives
miserable.

Let's move on and stop obsessing about errors made in the past.  Every
language has some of those.

Regards

Antoine.
