I wrote simple script and wont to use bytes in doctest.
No reason for use unittest or other solution, wich bigger than my script.
Simple way to wrote in doctest:
>>> foo(b'\xff\xd8\xff')
But problem, we have (caught) exception:
SyntaxError: bytes can only contain ASCII literal characters.
Yes, script file use UTF-8 encoding.
But we have simple solution: we can try write data as HEX:
>>> foo(bytes.fromhex('ff d8 ff'))
In result we write:
def foo(data):
"""
>>> foo(bytes.fromhex('ff d8 ff'))
"""
pass
Tested for Python 3.5.
For Python 2 i see, but not tested solution:
def foo(data):
ur"""
>>> foo(b'\xff\xd8\xff')
"""
pass
No crossverion solution for 2.* and 3.* Python branches.
