>>> help(bytes)
bytes constructor accepts more than one argument even of the first one is not a 
string (and then the other arguments are checked to be strings):

    >>> bytes(2, "foo", "bar")
    b'\x00\x00'
    >>> bytes(2, "foo")
    b'\x00\x00'

but:

    >>> bytes(2, 1)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    TypeError: bytes() argument 2 must be str, not int
