numpy.chararray.tobytes¶

chararray.tobytes(order='C')¶

Construct Python bytes containing the raw data bytes in the array.

Constructs Python bytes showing a copy of the raw contents ofdata memory. The bytes object can be produced in either ‘C’ or ‘Fortran’,or ‘Any’ order (the default is ‘C’-order). ‘Any’ order means C-orderunless the F_CONTIGUOUS flag in the array is set, in which case itmeans ‘Fortran’ order.

New in version 1.9.0.

Parameters:	order : {‘C’, ‘F’, None}, optional Order of the data for multidimensional arrays:C, Fortran, or the same as for the original array.
Returns:	s : bytes Python bytes exhibiting a copy ofa‘s raw data.
