Create a bytearray(range(256)) and partition it on 128.  I'd expect to 
see the original effectively cut in half with 128 as the separator.  You 
actually get the original with two empty bytearrays, which makes no 
sense to me at all.

I also looked in test_bytes.py, read as far as "XXX This is a mess" and 
promptly gave up.
