[issue32003] multiprocessing.Array("b", 1), multiprocessing.Array("c", 1 ) wrong value returned

[Samuel Nwokenkwo]

To clarify

my expectation was something like this:

arr = multiprocessing.Array('c', 3) # type char

arr = "Fun" 

which is similar to c implementation:

char arr[3] = "Fun"

AND

arr =  multiprocessing.Array('b', 3) # type byte
arr = b'fun'

Also this website list 'c' as a data type supported:
