I concur with Raymond. It is difficult to find any use case for sorting bytes objects (I cannot find any).

As for using radix sort in list.sort() in special case of small integer keys, it is difficult to implement, because we should preserve the initial order of items with the same key. I am not sure that it is possible to implement stable radix sort with linear complexity. In any case the overhead will be more significant.
