OK, this is the pickle.py patch. A new parameter 'bytestr' has been added to both _Pickler and _Unpickler to toggle the pickle.string<=>bytes behaviour:

_Pickler:
IF protocol <= 2 AND bytestr=True
THEN bytes are stored as STRING/SHORT_BINSTRING/BINSTRING
ELSE (the old behaviour; obj for protocol <=2, else BINARY)

_Unpickler:
IF bytestr=True
THEN STRING/SHORT_BINSTRING/BINSTRING are read as bytes
ELSE they are read as str (old behaviour)

I also extracted the decoding stuff from the three string reading functions to a single one.
