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

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.
There's actually another aspect to your idea, independent of the naming: exposing a view rather than just an iterator. I'm going to have to look at the implications for memoryview, but it may be a good way to go (and would align with the iterator -> view changes in dict). Cheers, Nick.
