+         A bytearray object is a mutable array. They are created by the built-in
+         :func:`bytearray` constructor.  Aside from being mutable (and hence
+         unhashable), byte arrays otherwise provide the same interface and
+         functionality as immutable bytes objects.

       The extension module :mod:`array` provides an additional example of a mutable
       sequence type.
