In Python 3 one can say

Since the bytes type is actually a list of integers, I would have
expected this to have huh being a bytestring with one element -- the
integer 5. Actually, what you get is:
--> huh
b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'
or five null bytes. Note that this is an immutable type, so you cannot
go in later and say
For the bytes to actually be a 'list of integers', you need to pass it
an iterable, ex:
bytes([5, 6, 1, 3])
b'\x05\x06\x01\x03'
Not so.
--> huh = b'abcedfg'
--> huh[3]
101
It's a list of int's.
- From help(bytes):
| bytes(iterable_of_ints) -> bytes
| bytes(string, encoding[, errors]) -> bytes
| bytes(bytes_or_buffer) -> immutable copy of bytes_or_buffer
| bytes(memory_view) -> bytes
Looks like you're using the fourth when you want the first, possibly?
Nope. Apparently, it's not well documented. If you check PEP 358
you'll find it.
