Bug report

asyncio.Protocol.data_received prototype not respected: when usingcreate_connection to create a tcp transportdata_received is being called with abytearray object instead ofbytes.
If this is expected behaviour libraries like httpx and such should be warned or the prototype modified, although I doubt it's intended because it would suppose the generator doesn't hold reference to it otherwise data could change while stored in buffered stuff.

importsysprint(f'Python:{sys.version}\n')importasyncioclassMyProto(asyncio.Protocol):defdata_received(self,data:bytes)->None:print('@@@@@@@@@@ ',data)defeof_received(self):print('##########')asyncdefmain():t,proto=awaitasyncio.get_running_loop().create_connection(MyProto,'example.com',80)t.write(b'SITE BE MAD\n\n')awaitasyncio.sleep(1)t.close()asyncio.run(main())

Correct output:@@@@@@@@@@ b'HTTP/1.0 ...WHATEVER THE SERVER ANSWERS...'
Faulty output:@@@@@@@@@@ bytearray(b'HTTP/1.0 ...WHATEVER THE SERVER ANSWERS...')
