The C-API for Python2.7 https://docs.python.org/2/c-api/bytearray.html#c.PyByteArray_AsString lacks the sentence: "The returned array always has an extra null byte appended." which clarifies, that the returned C-string is null-terminated. This sentence is a part of Python3-documentation: https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/bytearray.html#c.PyByteArray_AsString I might be very wrong, but so far I understand the code this is the case for both versions, Python3 and Python2. Probably parts of this change https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/0a560a11af0ccc816d1172180f44e5afb34ba600 could be integrated in Python2.7 |

IMHO there is no need/way for adding that clarification after this date (1.5 months left). |

Python 2.7 is no longer supported. |
