[issue20783] bytearray init fails when \x00 is present

[Andrew P. Lentvorski, Jr.]

New submission from Andrew P. Lentvorski, Jr.:

The byte array init fails when \x00 is present

This fails:
ggRAM = bytearray(RAM_SIZE_BYTES, '\x00'*RAM_SIZE_BYTES)

However, this works:
ggRAM = bytearray(RAM_SIZE_BYTES)
ggRAM[:] = '\x00'*RAM_SIZE_BYTES

[issue20783] bytearray init fails when \x00 is present

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

That isn't a valid bytearray initialization call.  The two argument form is 
(string, encoding), not (size, string).  The error message you get is a bit 
funky and not particularly informative, though.  Maybe someone will want to try 
to improve that.

Ayup, I are an idiot.  Sorry.

ggRAM = bytearray('\x00'*RAM_SIZE_BYTES)

Works fine.
