Oh - dear - again.  Yes it was a helpful answer and direct to my
question - implication otherwise entirely accidental.  The blood
vessel was only because my brain was already twisted from trying to
unlearn the correspondence between string and byte in python 3...

I fear that my suggestion as to what you meant by repr doesn't make
sense though.
