STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org> added the comment:
The aliases were deprecated since Python 3.2. It's now time to use the newer
names.
array.array.fromstring() implictly converted Unicode to UTF-8:
$ python3
Python 3.7.5 (default, Oct 17 2019, 12:16:48)
>>> import array
>>> a=array.array('B')
>>> a.fromstring('€uro')
>>> a
array('B', [226, 130, 172, 117, 114, 111])
>>> list('€uro'.encode('utf8'))
[226, 130, 172, 117, 114, 111]
The removal is now documented in 3.7 and 3.8.
----------
resolution: -> fixed
stage: patch review -> resolved
status: open -> closed
title: Remove array.fromstring -> Remove array.fromstring() and
