Ammar Askar <am...@ammaraskar.com> added the comment:
If you're trying to get raw bytes, you need to use
print(b'\x80')
what's happening right now is that the '\x80' is treated as a unicode code
point (see https://docs.python.org/3/howto/unicode.html#the-string-type), and
when Python goes to print it, it gets encoded to the raw underlying bytes.
Which, in the default encoding of utf-8 requires the extra byte.
>>> '\x80'.encode()
b'\xc2\x80'
