--> bytes(5) '5' --> bytearray(5) bytearray(b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00') ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Creating a buffer of null bytes makes sense for bytearray, which is mutable; it does not make sense, and IMHO only causes confusion, to have bytes return an /immutable/ sequence of zero bytes. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20895> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
