doesn't feel right to me. it sounds like something for temporary storage before i send it on the way. yes, in most cases what i send should be 8bit wide, but not necessarily always.
bytes has astrange feeling because of the plural. it would be like naming a string chars, or array(int) as ints. bytearray would be better. how about string(byte)? byte could be a shortcut for int(0..255) as well greetings, martin.
