6

8
>>> pad(b'abcdef', 4) == b'abcdef\x00\x00'
True

fontTools.misc.textTools.tostr(s: str | bytes, encoding: str = 'ascii', errors: str = 'strict') → str

fontTools.misc.textTools.tobytes(s: str | bytes, encoding: str = 'ascii', errors: str = 'strict') → bytes

fontTools.misc.textTools.bytechr(n)

fontTools.misc.textTools.byteord(c)

fontTools.misc.textTools.strjoin(iterable, joiner='')

fontTools.misc.textTools.bytesjoin(iterable, joiner=b'')
