| The modules described in this chapter provide a variety of specialized data |
| types such as dates and times, fixed-type arrays, heap queues, synchronized |
| queues, and sets. |

| Python also provides some built-in data types, in particular, |
| :class:`dict`, :class:`list`, :class:`set` (which along with |
| :class:`frozenset`, replaces the deprecated :mod:`sets` module), and |
| :class:`tuple`. The :class:`str` class can be used to handle binary data |
| and 8-bit text, and the :class:`unicode` class to handle Unicode text. |
