It would be very practical use have a format, eg. '%y', to accept bytes object in PyBytes_FromFormatV().
Example (extracted from posixmodule.c):
With %y, it can be written:
The '%y' may also accept bytearray and any object with the buffer interface (as the 'y' format of PyArg_Parse*() functions).

Patch implementing this feature. It only supports bytes.

The "%y" format is useless for the posixmodule.c example (it doesn't simplify the code), and I cannot find another usage of this feature. So let's forget it :-)
