I am not sure what you concretely mean by 'receive a string', but I
think you are again batting at a strawman. If you mean 'read from a
file', and all you want to do is read bytes from and write bytes to
external 'files', then there is obviously no need to transcode and
neither Python 2 or 3 make you do so.
