[issue12170] Bytes.index() and bytes.count() should accept byte ints

[Max]

Max <max at alleged.net> added the comment:

Fair enough.

I think it would make sense for the string methods to also accept single ints where possible as well:

For haystack and needles both strings:
[haystack.find(n) for n in needles]

For both bytes, it's a bit contortionist:
[haystack.find(needles[i:i+1]) for i in range(len(needles))]

One ends up doing a lot of the [i:i+1] bending when using bytes functions.
