Hey Guido! During my testing and local modifications of the PEP 3137 branch I found a bunch of unit tests that were choking on bytes(1) where bytes is PyString. The PEP doesn't list bytes(<int>) as a valid constructor, only buffer(<int>). I don't see a reason why bytes() shouldn't accept an int when b'1' still creates a byte sequence with 3 elements. Here is a patch

Hey Guido!

buffer(<int>). I don't see a reason why bytes() shouldn't accept an int
when b'1' still creates a byte sequence with 3 elements. Here is a patch
