If we run 2to3 on the following code:
s = b' '
print s[0] == s
we end up with this:
s = b' '
print(s[0] == s)
However, the first code, under python2 prints True while the converted code, under python3 prints False.
Shouldn't 2to3 convert this code to:
s = b' '
print s[0:1] == s
instead?

2to3 can't guess which slices are from bytes.

Replacing string indexes with length-1 slices in the 2.x codebase, whether or not one one is running 2to3, seems to be a 'known' technique for Python3 portability and unicode-bytes inter-operability. (It was discussed this week on py-dev list .) But I do not see it mentioned in PyWiki, such as on
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PortingPythonToPy3k
