I checked that NumPy also packs correctly: >>> import numpy as np >>> x = np.array([0,1,2,3], dtype=np.bool) >>> x.tobytes() b'\x00\x01\x01\x01' So I vote for not handling incorrectly packed values and removing "and any non-zero value will be True when unpacking" from the docs, which does not seem to make any sense for _Bool. memoryview also does not guard against the theoretical possibility of incorrectly packed values being trap representations. Values need to be packed correctly, or you get UB. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39689> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
