Is it possible to specify a byte string literal when running with the -U option?
Not literally. However, you can specify things like
bytes = [0x47, 0x49, 0x4f, 0x50, 0x01, 0x00] bytes = ''.join((chr(x) for x in bytes))
Alternatively, you could rely on the 1:1 feature of Latin-1:
bytes = "GIOP\x01\0".encode("l1")
