Bytearray Support

[kj4tmp]

I am wrapping a library that does a lot of manipulation of c char arrays, like:

char IOmap[4096];

int ecx_config_map_group(ecx_contextt *context, void *pIOmap, uint8 group)

so I was hoping to initialize this iomap bytearray in python and pass this into the c functions for it to be modified.

Is there plans to support bytearray in python? What alternatives do I have? I see ndarray but does this require my wrapper library to depend on numpy? I would like to avoid depending on numpy if I can get away with just a simple bytearray for now.
