[Felipe Bastos Nunes]

They accept .replace(b"00", b"12") for example. Documentation about
it.<http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/stdtypes.html#bytes-methods>

> --> huh
> b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'
>
> or five null bytes.  Note that this is an immutable type, so you cannot go
> in later and say
>
> --> huh[3] = 9
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
> TypeError: 'bytes' object does not support item assignment

> So, out of curiosity, does anyone actually use this, um, feature?
