I'm not a native speaker (of English), but my understanding is that the noun "string", in itself, can very well be used to describe this type: the result is a "byte string", as opposed to a "character string". Merriam-Webster's seems to agree; meaning 5b(2) is "a sequence of like items (as bits, characters, or words)" ---------- nosy: +loewis title: array documentation, method names not 3.0 compliant -> array documentation, method names not 3.0 compliant _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3565> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
