I guess strings a byte arrays is part of pre 3.0 python. It just seems 
so ugly in what is otherwise a fairly clean language. Particularly when 
the data sometimes starts life as a list. How do you go about stuffing 
'bytes' into a string? With arrays as below? Or with cStringIO? Yuck and 
yuck ;)

data = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
arr = array.array('B', data)
str = arr.tostring()
