New submission from Steven D'Aprano <steve+pyt...@pearwood.info>:
multiprocessing.Array slice assignment claims to require a single character
even if it requires more than one:
py> arr = multiprocessing.Array('c', 3)
py> arr[:] = b'xyz' # works
py> arr[:] = 'xyz'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/multiprocessing/sharedctypes.py", line 226, in
__setitem__
self._obj[i] = value
TypeError: one character bytes, bytearray or integer expected
