It looks like Python 3 supports the __bytes__ magic method (called by bytes(obj)). However, it's not documented anywhere. Also, I could not find any reference to BDFL accepting it but it looks like it got in anyway. Here are some posts back from 2007 where he argues against it: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2007-August/009375.html
