The response is returned as a @code{bytes} object. If it is known

In Python 2 @code{bytes} and @code{str} are aliases, so the result is
already a string, if the response includes non-printable characters,
or null characters, then these will be present in the result, care
should be taken when processing the result to handle this case.
The prefix, suffix, and checksum (as required by the remote serial
protocol) are automatically added to the outgoing packet, and removed
from the incoming packet before the contents of the reply are
