Why not just use six.byte_format(fmt, *args)?
It works on both Python2 and Python3 and accepts the numerical format 
specifiers, plus '%b' for inserting bytes and '%a' for converting text 
to ascii.

Admittedly it doesn't exist yet,
but it could and it would save a lot of arguing :)

(Apologies to anyone who doesn't appreciate my mischievous sense of humour)

Cheers,
Mark.
