[issue45782] Bug in struct.pack

Thu Nov 11 05:43:12 EST 2021

Steven D'Aprano <steve+python at pearwood.info> added the comment:

The behaviour is correct. You have tripped over the ASCII representation of bytes. In ASCII, 119 (or in hex, 0x77) is displayed as 'w'.

>>> b'\x77\x00\x00\x00'
b'w\x00\x00\x00'
