I was just logging in to make this point, but Serhiy beat me to it. When I wrote several years ago that this was "easy", it was before the (awesome) PEP 393 work. I suspect, but have not verified, that having a bytes version of this code would now require an implementation that shared very little with the str version.

So I think Martin's advice to just encode to ascii is the best course of action.
