Well, that's what BytesWarning is for. I agree it is annoying in normal use, but it is meant to ease porting of 2.x code. That's why it is only enabled when you use the corresponding command-line switch. The warning in the dict case is especially important: otherwise it is easy to get a dict with duplicate bytes and unicode keys (say b"xxx" and "xxx"), and potentially different values.
