My fault, your assumption was correct, 2to3 doesn't convert str to bytes. Maintaing 2.5 compatibility looks pretty painful, you could do something like tagging your bytes with a separate function that would encode them under 3. This obviously sucks but I don't see many other options if sys.version_info > (3, 0): def b(s): return s.encode('latin-1') else: b = str b('some bytes')

if sys.version_info > (3, 0):
    def b(s):
        return s.encode('latin-1')
else:
    b = str

b('some bytes')
