- 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, synchronized
- queues, and sets.
- Python also provides some built-in data types, in particular,
- :class:`dict`, :class:`list`, :class:`set` (which along with
- :class:`frozenset`, replaces the deprecated :mod:`sets` module), and
- :class:`tuple`. The :class:`str` class can be used to handle binary data
- and 8-bit text, and the :class:`unicode` class to handle Unicode text.
- The following modules are documented in this chapter:
