Description of change

Fixes an error found by using the Pylance LS in basic typechecking mode.

I'm assuming the original code was meant to be "str or bytes". Most the docstrings mention Byte string or bytearray.
Using a constrained TypeVar like AnyStr in a Union is usually a mistake.

TrytesCompatible = Union[AnyStr, bytearray, 'TryteString'] defines a generic type alias, which can be legitimate. To use it properly, you'd need to provide a type argument that is compatible with the AnyStr type variable.

TrytesCompatible[str] or TrytesCompatible[bytes] or TrytesCompatible[AnyStr] would all be allowed.
