The following fails in Py3.0a5:
>>> import re
>>> re.search(b'(\d+)', b'-2.80 98\n')
I get a TypeError: "Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly" in
line 204 of file "sre_parse.py", code being "char = char + c".

I think it's debatable whether re should byte strings since it is searching through text and not raw binary data. However, this may be a case of practicality over purity. |

Ah, I now see what the actual problem is. Byte strings return the byte value on indexing. Changing the title accordingly. |

This is a duplicate of #3231 and was fixed in r65185. |
