Why do you insist on making counter-factual statements as facts? Don't you have a Python REPL you can try these outrageous claims out before making them? py> b'abcd'[2] + 1 # bytes are sequences of integers 100 py> 'abcd'[2] + 1 # strings are not sequences of integers Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly Python strings are sequences of abstract characters. -- Steven D'Aprano "Ever since I learned about confirmation bias, I've been seeing it everywhere." -- Jon Ronson -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
