I think that the OP confusion comes from the representation. We have a data type called bytes. They are sequences of bytes. So, I build one: >>> b = bytes((72, 105)) Then I check: >>> b[0] 72 >>> b[1] 105 Great! But: >>> b b'Hi' Why I see two letters? Wasn't them bytes? :o I know that is great to represent bytes between 32 and 127 as letters, and this has several compatibility details, but I think that the surprise comes from that place. If the behaviour were the following.... >>> b b((72, 105)) ...it would be less surprising. Regards, -- .
