The documentation for PyBytes_FromObject states:
.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyBytes_FromObject(PyObject *o)
 Return the bytes representation of object *o* that implements
 the buffer protocol.
However, there exists a special-case for integer object in
PyBytes_FromObject that makes the function return a null-initialized
bytes object. Currently, this is only used for handling `bytes(10)'.
I don't like changing APIs after a stable release, but I believe this
behaviour is error-prone and surprising (and darn right annoying even).
So, I believe the special-case should be made specific to the bytes
constructor.
Thus, here is the fine patch.
