+Python 2.6 introduces the ``bytearray`` (an immutable array of bytes), which
+is clearly what we'd prefer to be using to communicate with TS packets,
+instead of strings.
+
+Until then, it's possible to convert a data "string" to an array using:
+
+    >>> import array
+    >>> data = array.array('B',p.data())
+    >>> data[0:15]
+    array('B', [71, 64, 50, 0, 0, 0, 1, 189, 6, 18, 132, 128, 15, 33, 12])
