| 4 | Binary Data Services |
| 5 | ******************** |
| 6 | |
| 7 | The modules described in this chapter provide some basic services operations |
| 8 | for manipulation of binary data. Other operations on binary data, specifically |
| 9 | in relation to file formats and network protocols, are described in the |
| 10 | relevant sections. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Some libraries described under :ref:`textservices` also work with either |
| 13 | ASCII-compatible binary formats (for example, :mod:`re`) or all binary data |
| 14 | (for example, :mod:`difflib`). |
| 15 | |
| 16 | In addition, see the documentation for Python's built-in binary data types in |
| 17 | :ref:`binaryseq`. |
