[New-bugs-announce] [issue20783] bytearray init fails when \x00 is present

[Andrew P. Lentvorski, Jr.]

New submission from Andrew P. Lentvorski, Jr.:

The byte array init fails when \x00 is present

This fails:
ggRAM = bytearray(RAM_SIZE_BYTES, '\x00'*RAM_SIZE_BYTES)

However, this works:
ggRAM = bytearray(RAM_SIZE_BYTES)
ggRAM[:] = '\x00'*RAM_SIZE_BYTES
