The array module defines a new object type ArrayType that works almost exactly like other sequence types except that its contents are constrained to a single type. The type of an array is determined at the time of creation, using one of the following typecodes:
| Type Code | Description | C Type | Minimum Size (in bytes) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 'c' | 8-bit character | char | 1 |
| 'b' | 8-bit integer | signedchar | 1 |
| 'B' | 8-bit unsigned integer | unsignedchar | 1 |
| 'h' | 16-bit integer | short | 2 |
| 'H' | 16-bit unsigned integer | unsignedshort | 2 |
| 'i' | integer | int | 4 or 8 |
| 'I' | unsigned integer | unsigned int | 4 or 8 |
| 'l' | long integer | long | 4 or 8 |
| 'L' | unsigned long integer | unsigned long | 4 or 8 |
