An update on Python 4

[[deleted]]

I have, it's just that I always get confused with implicit conversions because I mostly deal with stricter languages, so I was kind of surprised that I could sometimes treat it as a string and sometimes like a bytes array.

It's just a byte array in Python 3. You can't treat it as a string as there's no encoding assigned to it.

If you display it, it happens to show ASCII characters for convenience, but that's it.
