You're right, this issue does indeed seem to have been resolved since I created this issue. I just checked this on Objects/bytesobject.c with the latest version and get the desired output. So you've done right to close this issue.


I'd like to note that I most certainly did supply a way to reproduce this issue! I described it precisely and concisely. Consider, also, that I was only asking if this is a bug since I wasn't sure. If someone had replied "this sounds like a bug, please supply code for which reproduces this" then I would have supplied such code.

Just to be sure, I just checked this again with clinic.py from revision 88635:fbc31e0b0c77 (Tue Jan 21, the day I reported this issue) and I get precisely the behavior I described. So the issue did exist at the time when I reported it and the test case I supplied is sound.
