[New-bugs-announce] [issue12615] add array.zeroes

[Alex Gaynor]

New submission from Alex Gaynor <alex.gaynor at gmail.com>:

>From python-ideas:

introduce array.zeroes, a new classmethod that provides an alternative constructor, its signature is zeroes(typecode, length), which allows for preallocating an array, with a lower overhead than methods such as array(typecode, [0]) * length, and is more readable (plus consistant with the numpy method of the same name).
