yes i know.. bad example. b'\x41' works for that. pretend i used an
integer variable not an up front constant.
bytes(chr(my_int)) # not strictly correct unless 0<=my_int<=255
bytes((my_int,))
struct.pack('B', my_int)
This came up as being useful in unittests for the bsddb bytes:bytes
changes i'm making but at the moment I'm not coming up with practical
examples where its important. maybe this is a nonissue.
