New submission from Terry J. Reedy tjreedy@udel.edu:

The entry for bytearray(source...) says " The optional source parameter can be used to initialize the array in a few different ways: ... If it is an integer, the array will have that size and will be initialized with null bytes. ... Without an argument, an array of size 0 is created. " [integer must be non-negative -- patch adds this] The entry for bytes(source...) refers back to the bytearray entry.

The docstrings for bytes and bytearray omit both possibilities. Attached is a possible patch to include them.
