I'm talking more generally - do you really want to be explaining that "bytes" behaves like a tuple of integers, while "bytes.bytes" behaves like a tuple of bytes?

I would explain it differently though, using concrete examples.

data = bytes(...)
for i in data: # iterate over data as integers
for i in data.bytes: # iterate over data as bytes

But whatever. I just wish there was something better than iterbytes.
