Pull request overview
This PR fixes a runtime panic when converting a zero-length Go []byte (go.Slice_byte) into Python bytes by avoiding &s[0] indexing on empty slices, and adds a regression check for issue #359.
Changes:
- Add an early return in generated
Slice_byte_to_bytesto safely create empty Pythonbytesforlen(s) == 0. - Extend the
_examples/gobytesexample to exercisebytes(empty_slice)and assert it producesb''. - Update the corresponding golden output in
main_test.go.
