Yes, I had test it once before. Now, I re-do it again to make sure. After a call which returns 3 bytes of data, I use len(buf) to check the length and get the number 24. I can see the first 24 bytes of data by using buf[:30] but buf[24] will cause an "index out of range" error. I don't know how to see what the buf[24] exactly is but I suppose it might be a zero byte.
