Binary Data Services
********************

The modules described in this chapter provide some basic services
operations for manipulation of binary data. Other operations on binary
data, specifically in relation to file formats and network protocols,
are described in the relevant sections.

Some libraries described under Usługi przetwarzania tekstu also work
with either ASCII-compatible binary formats (for example, "re") or all
binary data (for example, "difflib").

In addition, see the documentation for Python's built-in binary data
types in Binary Sequence Types --- bytes, bytearray, memoryview.
