Re: [Python-ideas] Specify number of items to allocate for array.array() constructor

+1, Jython's had a custom function for this forever, originally from its old jarray module: jarray.zeros(length, typecode). I think its swapped order of args are due to jarray probably predating the array module.

array.zeroes(typecode, length) seems like a good API to me. It's also consistant with the name for the numpy method which does the same. I'll go ahead and file a bug for this and try to work up a patch. Alex
