since it is often more useful than e.g. ``bytes([46, 46, 46])``. You can
always convert a bytes object into a list of integers using ``list(b)``.

originally only supported 8-bit text, and Unicode text was a later
addition. In Python 3.x, those implicit conversions are gone - conversions
between 8-bit binary data and Unicode text must be explicit, and bytes and
string objects will always compare unequal.
