[issue21180] Cannot efficiently create empty array.array of given size, inconsistency with bytearray

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

You are  proposing to copy behavior that will likely be deprecated and removed (see  http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0467/#id5). Lets reject that idea. The same pep proposes to replace byte(s/array)(n) "by two more explicit alternate constructors provided as class methods" -- perhaps called .zeros(n). A proposal to copy the new replacements to array might be accepted.
