Hi Clark,
How is this a problem?
If you're representing text, use 'text'. If you're representing a string of bytes, use 'bytestring'. If you want an "array" of values, think c++ and use 'vector'.
the problem is that all those packages implement the exact same data type from scratch, instead of re-using an implementation of a general-purpose array internally. That is hardly desirable, nor is it necessary. Take care, Peter
