| Data Types |
| ********** |
| |
| The modules described in this chapter provide a variety of specialized data |
| types such as dates and times, fixed-type arrays, heap queues, double-ended |
| queues, and enumerations. |
| |
| Python also provides some built-in data types, in particular, |
| :class:`dict`, :class:`list`, :class:`set` and :class:`frozenset`, and |
| :class:`tuple`. The :class:`str` class is used to hold |
| Unicode strings, and the :class:`bytes` and :class:`bytearray` classes are used |
| to hold binary data. |
| |
| The following modules are documented in this chapter: |
