To quote the Python 2.x documentation:
A prefix of ‘b’ or ‘B’ is ignored in Python 2; it indicates that the literal should become a bytes literal in Python 3 (e.g. when code is automatically converted with 2to3). A ‘u’ or ‘b’ prefix may be followed by an ‘r’ prefix.
The Python 3 documentation states:
Bytes literals are always prefixed with ‘b’ or ‘B’; they produce an instance of the bytes type instead of the str type. They may only contain ASCII characters; bytes with a numeric value of 128 or greater must be expressed with escapes.
