A Python string, you may want to note, is a string. Not a sequence of characters.
It's both (with the caveat that, in Python, a character is just a string of length 1).
That's playing with words, especially comparing strings with Python 3 binaries which *do* actually have a separate "character" type (reified to an integer).
Python 3 does not have a 'character' type; it has 'str' which is made up of more 'str's, and it has 'byte' which is made up of 'int's (annoyingly).
That's what he said. Could we stop the annoying "but I know it better than you without reading your message" please?
I am having trouble equating what I said with with Masklinn said. Perhaps you could explain how they say the same thing instead of assuming I didn't read his message? ~Ethan~
