A big +1 for a bytes() type, though. I'm not sure on the details, but it'd be nice if it was possible to pass a bytes() object to, for instance, write() directly. If bytes() doesn't implement the read buffer interface, someone somewhere is going to need shooting :-)

Is there any reason you cannot use buffer() ?!

It already implements all the necessary things and has been available for many years.
