It's says bytes is an array of bytes, does the author mean bits?
- nayuki 10y agoWhat the author means is that the Python type named `bytes` is an array of conceptual byte values.
- MattConfluence 10y agoIt's a bit of a clunky sentence because of the name conflict between the concept of multiple bytes and the Python data type. A byte is a sequence of bits, and "bytes" is the name of a sequence of bytes in Python.
