7The modules described in this chapter provide some basic services operations
8for manipulation of binary data. Other operations on binary data, specifically
9in relation to file formats and network protocols, are described in the
10relevant sections.
11
12Some libraries described under :ref:`textservices` also work with either
13ASCII-compatible binary formats (for example, :mod:`re`) or all binary data
14(for example, :mod:`difflib`).

16In addition, see the documentation for Python's built-in binary data types in
17:ref:`binaryseq`.
