For consistency with 2.6+, it should return str.encode(encoding) instead.
Also, you shouldn't put a default value for `encoding`, because it doesn't match
the py3k API (if you create a bytes() object from an str() object, you /have/ to
specify the encoding in py3k):

>>> bytes("abc")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: string argument without an encoding
>>> bytes("abc", "utf-8")
b'abc'
