You can always double-check in the interpreter:
>>> with open("tmp.txt", "w") as f: f.write("let's try\n")
...
>>> import io
>>> with io.open("tmp.txt", "r") as f: print type(f.read())
...
<type 'unicode'>
>>> with io.open("tmp.txt", "rb") as f: print type(f.read())
...
<type 'str'>
So yes. Also:
>>> str is bytes
True
