Hello, do you think it is possible to operate with bytes like with ints? useing the fact than ord('A')==65 ; will it possible to use b'A' like 65 or 00100001, in binary, for example for encryption of files, etc... thank you.

What idea are you proposing here? You can already call ord() on the single byte or iterate a bytes object to get integer values. Being able to treat b"A" itself as identical to the int 65, if that's what you're suggesting, doesn't really make sense.
