numpy:str_

Extended Summary

This type strips trailing null codepoints.

>>> s = np.str_("abc\x00")
>>> s
'abc'

Unlike the builtin str, this supports the python:bufferobjects, exposing its contents as UCS4:

>>> m = memoryview(np.str_("abc"))
>>> m.format
'3w'
>>> m.tobytes()
b'a\x00\x00\x00b\x00\x00\x00c\x00\x00\x00'

Charactercode
