python 字符数组,python 3中的字符数组？

In Python 2.7 I can create an array of characters like so:

#Python 2.7 - works as expected

from array import array

x = array('c', 'test')

But in Python 3 'c' is no longer an available typecode. If I want an array of characters, what should I do? The 'u' type is being removed as well.

#Python 3 - raises an error

from array import array

x = array('c', 'test')

TypeError: cannot use a str to initialize an array with typecode 'c'

解决方案

Use an array of bytes 'b', with encoding to and from a unicode string.

Convert to and from a string using array.tobytes().decode() and array.frombytes(str.encode()).

>>> x = array('b')

>>> x.frombytes('test'.encode())

>>> x

array('b', [116, 101, 115, 116])

>>> x.tobytes()

b'test'

>>> x.tobytes().decode()

'test'
