2.x lets you refer to name "bytes" which is the same as name "str". 2.x lets you express literal strings with a "b" prefix which have the same value as the same string without the "b" prefix. does this mean "2.x has bytes" or not? even though
but i was basically saying (expressed with more detail this time) "you cannot, in 2.x, create and reference a data type that is an immutable type bytes, but sure you can do so a data type that is a mutable equivalent. the literal b'anything' certainly does not do this in 2.x ".
if bytes==str: is my quick test to see if my code is running in 2.x before i import sys, i say "not".but i was basically saying (expressed with more detail this time) "you cannot, in 2.x, create and reference a data type that is an immutable type bytes, but sure you can do so a data type that is a mutable equivalent. the literal b'anything' certainly does not do this in 2.x ".
