[issue8401] Strange behavior of bytearray slice assignment

[Ezio Melotti]

Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti at gmail.com> added the comment:

This happens because bytearray_ass_subscript() (Objects/bytearrayobject.c:588) calls PyByteArray_FromObject() (:641) that in turn calls bytearray_init() (:746), so the results are similar to the ones returned by calling bytearray(...) directly.
