2This question is probably too broad for the Q&A format of StackOverflow. But have a look at this talk by Brandon Rhodes where he demonstrates some use cases for these three types: [Oh, Come On Who Needs Bytearrays - PyCon 2015](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9Hmys8ojno) – Lukas Graf Jun 14 '15 at 11:20

Actually all of these three types' use were discussed already:
1) About bytes look at the answers to the question the bytes type in python 2.7 and PEP-358
2) About bytearray usage look at the answers to the question Where are python bytearrays used?
3) About MemoryView look at good answers to the questions
When should a memoryview be used?
and What exactly is the point of memoryview in Python
