Not quite, (python 2.x's) strings are binary data. It just happens that it behaves like text when you appropriately encode/decode it. In python 3.x, the default string have evolved to unicode string, which is a true text and the old string which contains arbitrary binary data evolved into bytestring. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
