You must have your very own definitions of "fixed-length" and
"unlike".

>>> import array
>>> fixed = array.array('b')
>>> fixed.append(42)
>>> fixed.extend([0, 1, 127])
>>> fixed
array('b', [42, 0, 1, 127])
>>> fixed.append(2)
>>> fixed
array('b', [42, 0, 1, 127, 2])
>>> fixed[2:4] = array.array('b', [8])
>>> fixed
array('b', [42, 0, 8, 2])
