Raymond Hettinger 158c9c26fc Issue #11085: Moved collections abstract base classes into a separate module
called collections.abc, following the pattern used by importlib.abc.  For
backwards compatibility, the names continue to also be imported into the
collections module.

Data Types
**********
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` and :class:`frozenset`, and
:class:`tuple`. The :class:`str` class is used to hold
Unicode strings, and the :class:`bytes` class is used to hold binary data.
The following modules are documented in this chapter:
