 Bytes literals are always prefixed with ``'b'`` or ``'B'``; they produce an
 instance of the :class:`bytes` type instead of the :class:`str` type.  They
 may only contain ASCII characters; bytes with a numeric value of 128 or greater
 must be expressed with escapes.

 In triple-quoted strings, unescaped newlines and quotes are allowed (and are
 retained), except that three unescaped quotes in a row terminate the string.  (A
 "quote" is the character used to open the string, i.e. either ``'`` or ``"``.)
