Alexander Belopolsky added the comment: I don't think we should put too much effort into preserving numpy behavior. Consider this python 3.5 session:
>>> import numpy >>> a = numpy.array([1]) >>> bytes(a) __main__:1: VisibleDeprecationWarning: converting an array with ndim > 0 to an index will result in an error in the future b'\x00' >>> a = numpy.array([2, 2]) >>> bytes(a) b'\x02\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00' It looks like this behavior is just an artifact of ndarray providing both __index__ and buffer protocol and not something thought out by numpy developers. I wonder if we could check for buffer protocol support before detecting an integer argument? I also recall a discussion of deprecating bytes(int) altogether.
