1.. _binaryservices: 2 3******************** 4Binary Data Services 5******************** 6 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`). 15 16In addition, see the documentation for Python's built-in binary data types in 17:ref:`binaryseq`. 18 19.. toctree:: 20 21 struct.rst 22 codecs.rst 23 24
