I am very new to python so I'll apologize up front if this is some

when I construct the bytes object to write it adds an extra f to the
first byte.

For example if I have b'\x03\x66\x02\x01\xaa\xbb' it evaluates
to b'\x03f\x02\x01\xaa\xbb', which doesn't even seem valid.

Can anyone shine some light this?

>>> b'\x66' == b'f'
True

Python always prints a bytestring the same way. It doesn't 'remember'
how it was originally created.

Another example:

>>> b'\x68\x65\x6c\x6c\x6f\x20\x77\x6f\x72\x6c\x64'
b'hello world'
