I proposed bytes.byte earlier in this thread: https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/KBVVBJL2PHI55Y26Z4FMSCJPER242LFA/
Gregory dislikes the name: "I don't *like* to argue over names (the last stage of anything) but I do need to point out how that sounds to read". https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/DGJWM3VMNMDBUTGYG72H5WLKDWBYFSUV/ That's why I proposed: bytes.fromchar(). I still like bytes.byte() :-) Victor On Thu, Sep 9, 2021 at 11:07 AM Antoine Pitrou <anto...@python.org> wrote: > > On Thu, 9 Sep 2021 18:55:04 +1000 > Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > P.S.
