Title: Bytes Objects: Handling Binary Data in Python – Real Python

Open Graph Title: Bytes Objects: Handling Binary Data in Python – Real Python

Description: In this tutorial, you'll learn about Python's bytes objects, which help you process low-level binary data. You'll explore how to create and manipulate byte sequences in Python and how to convert between bytes and strings. Additionally, you'll practice this knowledge by coding a few fun examples.

You can create a bytes object by using a bytes literal, the bytes() function, or the bytes.fromhex() method.

Endianness refers to the order of bytes in multi-byte data types, either starting with the least significant byte (little-endian) or the most significant byte (big-endian).
