In a modern web framework, the HTML will typically be in internal text encoding because the framework can't know what the programmer/web developer/user will be using. So there's no need at all for PEP 461 here: you're going to be using str, and then running it through .encode() anyway. > the HTTP headers are immediately followed by the HTML, and when the > document is being generated on the fly, it may also be being > encoded on the fly. I've seen it done, although I can't confirm or > deny the "usually" claim you have made. I'm sure you've seen it done. Is it worth providing special support for it? I don't think so, and Nick's "we don't want people writing __bytes__ methods" argument sounds suspiciously like a child-proof cap to me.
