__doc__ of bytearray says: > bytearray(iterable_of_ints) -> bytearray > bytearray(string, encoding[, errors]) -> bytearray > bytearray(bytes_or_bytearray) -> mutable copy of bytes_or_bytearray > bytearray(memory_view) -> bytearray So, unless an encoding is given, empty string should be interpreted as an iterable of ints. BTW, documentation and docstring should be made consistent with each other.
