    No detailed change log; just check out the change log for the py3k-pep3137
    branch.  The most obvious changes:
    
      - str8 renamed to bytes (PyString at the C level);
      - bytes renamed to buffer (PyBytes at the C level);
      - PyString and PyUnicode are no longer compatible.
    
    I.e. we now have an immutable bytes type and a mutable bytes type.
    
    The behavior of PyString was modified quite a bit, to make it more
    bytes-like.  Some changes are still on the to-do list.
