It's a ValueError. If the sizes matched, it would be a per-element bitwise xor. > These details should be considered in the PEP. They aren't considered because they are *obvious* to most (if not all) sane people who use Python. Think of future bytes behavior to be similar to current array behavior, with a few bits and pieces added to make life easier (like all of the current string methods, etc.) - Josiah _______________________________________________ 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
