Suggest a fix/enhancement

What I understand is there should be a file named byte_array.py under swagger_server/models/ defining ByteArray type. But there is no such a file.

Yaml element responsible for this error:

type: string
format: byte

Is there any known workaround?

I opened a PR to fix this but a work-around is to include --type-mappings ByteArray=str in the command line arguments when using the CLI.
