Absolutely. > I also think you'd want bytes([x > for x in some_bytes_object]) to return an object equal to the original. You mean if types(some_bytes_object) is bytes? Yes. But that doesn't constrain the API much. Anyway, I'm now convinced that bytes should act as an array of ints, where the ints are restricted to range(0, 256) but have type int. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
