[issue3156] bytes type has inconsistent methods (append, insert)

2008-06-21 Thread Bruno Gola 

Bruno Gola [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment:

The following patch fixes the behavior, .append and .insert will accept
only integer as parameters.

Is this really the desired behavior? I mean, why not to accept a
character for both methods?

There are two tests in Lib/test/test_io.py that uses the old behavior
for .append().

[issue3156] bytes type has inconsistent methods (append, insert)

2008-06-20 Thread A.M. Kuchling 

New submission from A.M. Kuchling [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

bytearray's methods aren't consistent in what they accept. 


append() takes either an int or a character:   

   

 b = bytearray('abc')   

 b.append(76) ; b   

bytearray(b'abcL') 

 b.append('M') ; b  

bytearray(b'abcLM')

   

.insert() accepts only integers:   

   

 b.insert(0, 97) ; b

bytearray(b'aabcLM')   

 b.insert(0, 'a') ; b   

Traceback (most recent call last): 

  File stdin, line 1, in module  

TypeError: an integer is required  

   

Both PEP 358 and the docstring for .append() only document 'int' as a  

legal input, so I suspect append() is wrong here.
