does python could support sequence of short or int?

A byte sequence in Python is a 'str'. They are immutable, so any
operations that change the object will return a new instance of 'str'.

In Python although we use references to objects, they aren't pointers -
so you don't operate directly on the byte sequence in memory. (Not
using the basic datatypes anyway).
