Quoth "Klaas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: | A PEP for a mutable bytes type was composed but withdrawn two years | ago: ... | Does anyone know if a well-coded and tested implementation of such a | beast exists now? Strings make me sad.
I didn't look at the PEPs - PEPs always make me sad - but if you want to just do it, try something like this import array class Muto: def __init__(self, a): self.data = array.array('c', a) def __str__(self): return self.data.tostring() def __repr__(self): return repr(self.data.tostring()) def __getitem__(self, i): return self.data[i] def __setitem__(self, i, a): self.data[i] = a m = Muto('spam') m[1] = 'h' print m, [m] I probably left out a few methods you would want.
