I'm not sure it is wise for the Python documentation to suggest inserting null bytes in general. This seems more like an application-specific hack. There is nothing in Python that handles these null bytes specially, and I expect they will be seen if the child reads the terminal in raw mode, or if the parent's output is redirected to a file, sent over the network or a real serial link.
