Then just use bytearray. I think the only new part is to provide a literal syntax for bytearray: a = a"xyz" # same as bytearray(b"xyz") But we already have a bunch of prefixes: b B u U r R f F plus various combinations and this would presumably add six more: a A ar aR Ar AR Literal syntax is a convenience, its not essential, so I guess this proposal requires justification for why bytearray is important enough to justify literal syntax. -- Steve
