The current code is:

             sys.stdout.write(data)  # TODO: this needs to be binary on Py3
             sys.stdout.flush()

Should I be using sys.stdout.buffer for both, or just the write?

For the CGI example in the PEP, I don't want to bother trying to make 
it fully production-usable; that's what we have wsgiref in the stdlib 
for.  So I won't worry about mixing strings and regular output in the 
example, even if perhaps wsgiref should add the StringIO's proposed by Graham.
