Subject: [3.15] gh-139871: Fix 3.15 bytearray.take_bytes example (GH-149520) (#149622)
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6ba3ea43a032ceedaf917fd0f1952afb238756eb;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

[3.15] gh-139871: Fix 3.15 bytearray.take_bytes example (GH-149520) (#149622)

gh-139871: Fix 3.15 bytearray.take_bytes example (GH-149520)

Currently:
```python
buffer = bytearray(b'abc\ndef')
n = buffer.find(b'\n')
data = bytes(buffer[:n + 1])
del buffer[:n + 1]
assert data == b'abc'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    assert data == b'abc'
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AssertionError
```

Adding in the `\n` makes the two match:

```python
buffer = bytearray(b'abc\ndef')
n = buffer.find(b'\n')
data = bytes(buffer[:n + 1])
del buffer[:n + 1]
assert data == b'abc\n'
assert buffer == bytearray(b'def')

buffer = bytearray(b'abc\ndef')
n = buffer.find(b'\n')
data = buffer.take_bytes(n + 1)
assert data == b'abc\n'
assert buffer == bytearray(b'def')
```
(cherry picked from commit cc5cf14ae0a3665ba9d192cc4152c0a46a9dab2f)
