Just noticed when answering a question on StackOverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/q/35387843/918959) that on Python 3 iterating over a mmap object yields individual bytes as bytes objects, even though iterating over slices, indexing and so on gives ints

Example:

    import mmap

    with open('test.dat', 'rb') as f:
        mm = mmap.mmap(f.fileno(), 0, access=mmap.ACCESS_READ)
        for b in mm:
            print(b)
            # prints for example b'A' instead of 65
        mm.close()

I believe this should be fixed for the sake of completeness - the documentation says that "Memory-mapped file objects behave like both bytearray and like file objects." - however the current behaviour is neither like a bytearray nor like a file object, and quite confusing.

Similarly the `in` operator seems to be broken; one could search for space using `32 in bytesobj`, which would work for slices but not for the whole mmap object.
