Antoine Pitrou added the comment: bytes objects have two things going for them: - they have the full bytes API (all the startswith(), etc. methods) - not only buffer access - they are immutable: you can keep an internal reference to a bytes object and be sure it won't change under your feet
This is especially handy when writing C code. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21057> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
