Probably, since many strings have been changed to bytes elsewhere in the file. BTW, I just attached a patch for Python 2.7 that fixes the subset of non-py3k-related issues.

Yes, a KeyError is raised when arg is bytes, but passing a string also fails (raising TypeError).  The latter might also be a separate bug, in that strings cannot be passed as they could be in Python 2.

Probably, since many strings have been changed to bytes elsewhere in the file.

BTW, I just attached a patch for Python 2.7 that fixes the subset of non-py3k-related issues.
