New submission from John Machin <[email protected]>:
These methods are parallel to str.join, seem to work as expected, and
have "help" entries. However there is nothing in the Library Reference
Manual about them.
>>> help(bytearray.join)
Help on method_descriptor:
join(...)
B.join(iterable_of_bytes) -> bytearray
Concatenate any number of bytes/bytearray objects, with B
in between each pair, and return the result as a new bytearray.
### OK but could use an example.
>>> help(bytes.join)
Help on method_descriptor:
join(...)
B.join(iterable_of_bytes) -> bytes
Concatenate any number of bytes objects, with B in between each pair.
### Above sentence should read "Concatenate any number of
bytes/bytearray objects, with B in between each pair, and return the
result as a new bytes object."
Example: b'.'.join([b'ab', b'pq', b'rs']) -> b'ab.pq.rs'.
