What about bytes, bytearray and memoryview? What is the expected behavior? I expect that memoryview is not supported (return something like b'<memory at 0x7fca8602c700>'), and that bytes and bytearray are copied without adding "b" prefix or quotes. bytes.ascii(b'abc') == b'abc' bytes.ascii(bytearray(b'abc')) == b'abc' I just suggest to elaborate the specification in the PEP.
