It is useless to write foo.split(b'bar') rather than foo.split(bar). In Python
2, this is exactly the same thing:
>>> 'fooXbar'.split('X')
['foo', 'bar']
>>> 'fooXbar'.split(b'X')
['foo', 'bar']
In Python 3, using bytes in split() is an error:
>>> 'fooXbar'.split('X')
['foo', 'bar']
>>> 'fooXbar'.split(b'X')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: Can't convert 'bytes' object to str implicitly
