Python 2.7 base64.b64decode, why does it return a string, not an array of bytes?

I am using Python 2.7 to decode base64 data, and I do not understand why base64.b64decode returns a string? How to get binary data that is decoded? I would think base64.b64decode will return an array of bytes. Here is a link to python docs for base64: http://docs.python.org/2/library/base64.html

Thanks for the help!

In 2.xa, bytestring is binary data, represented primarily in printed form. And it does not require additional modules for support.
