In numpy, ndarray.size is an attribute that returns the number of elements in the array. The constructor that creates an arbitrary repeated value also exists and is called numpy.full(). Even ignoring numpy, bytes.size(count, value=b'\x00') is completely unintuitive. If I see bytes.size(42) in someone's code, I will think: "something like int.bit_length(), but in bytes."
