(Is a byte string the same as a byte array? Is a byte array the same as
an array.array? If I remove this line from my code, where 'data' has
just been read from a file:
data=array.array('B',data)
then it still works - Python 3. But not on Python 2. If I do .read on a
binary file I get a byte string in Python 3, but a string in Python 2.
That sort of mess.
And how do I write that deceptively simple header on the output file
without array.array because I tried all sorts:
f = open(file+".ppm", "wb")
s="P6\n%d %d\n255\n" % (hdr.width, hdr.height)
sbytes=array.array('B',list(map(ord,s)))
f.write(sbytes)
Note this file mixes text and binary mode - blame the ppm format - but
is mostly binary.)

So whoever created the speed comparison site linked to at the start of
the thread is wasting their time?
Obviously some people are interested in this stuff, even if you're not.
The slow speed of Python (and a number of other scripting languages) is
well known. But obviously that is not any sort of issue, and these
people working flat out on tracing JIT compilers are all wasting their
time too!
