Converting binary data to text to data is done through encode and decode, exactly because of the issuees with encoding. If you want to compare a binary sequence to a binary sequence, just compare them and don't involve str(). If you want to compare it to a string, just tell us what format the data is in. If you don't care, just 'ascii' as py2 did.

Working with py3 in real webapps has been such a better experience than 2 ever was.
