Understanding "help()" output?
#4
So for example, when I type (help(bytes)) and receive:

bytes(string, encoding [,errors]) --> errors ,

Does this command take 2 arguments or 3? The bracket notation with the errors confuses me, partly because the comma is inside the bracket. Also, how can I know what types of arguments are acceptable for the encoding?
