  3. Data Types
  4. **********
  5. The modules described in this chapter provide a variety of specialized data
  6. types such as dates and times, fixed-type arrays, heap queues, synchronized
  7. queues, and sets.
  8. Python also provides some built-in data types, in particular,
  9. :class:`dict`, :class:`list`, :class:`set` (which along with
  10. :class:`frozenset`, replaces the deprecated :mod:`sets` module), and
  11. :class:`tuple`. The :class:`str` class can be used to handle binary data
  12. and 8-bit text, and the :class:`unicode` class to handle Unicode text.
  13. The following modules are documented in this chapter:
