Python bytes object is useful.

I would add bitwise logical operations. They would be most useful in
cryptographic and graphics operations.

Also, encoding and decoding (long) integers in binary fromat to and from
bytes type would be useful. Currently, there is no way to efficiently
convert long integers to binary formats.
