[issue16724] Define `binary data` representation in Python
anatoly techtonik added the comment: The fact that array.array, bytearray and memoryview are also accepted is a surprise for me. It will help if Python docs contained a definition of what can be considered 'binary data' and link this term from hexlify description to this definition. -- resolution: invalid - status: closed - open title: Rename `data` argument names to `bytes` - Define `binary data` representation in Python ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue16724 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Chris Jerdonek added the comment: It will help if Python docs contained a definition of what can be considered 'binary data' and link this term from hexlify description to this definition. I believe this is part of the goal of issue 16518, where bytes-like object is being proposed as one of the terms for addition to the glossary. -- nosy: +chris.jerdonek ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue16724 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
