Message 267791 - Python tracker

New patch that I plan to commit:

* Use bytes instead of str
* bytes, bytearray or memoryview for readinto() methods
* bytes or memoryview for write() methods
* Added single “Changed in version 2.7” notice under the IOBase class (rather than every version of readinto and write)
* Since we only require 1-D byte array memoryviews, I resurrected the len(b) text
* Removed outdated XXX comment about supporting buffer API, since bytearray and memoryview of bytes is now all that is required
