and the logical array structure.
- .. method:: tobytes()
+ .. method:: tobytes(order=None)
Return the data in the buffer as a bytestring. This is equivalent to
calling the :class:`bytes` constructor on the memoryview. ::
supports all format strings, including those that are not in
:mod:`struct` module syntax.
+ .. versionadded:: 3.8
+ *Order* can be {'C', 'F', 'A'}. When *order* is 'C' or 'F', the data
+ of the original array is converted to C or Fortran order. For contiguous
+ views, 'A' returns an exact copy of the physical memory. In particular,
+ in-memory Fortran order is preserved. For non-contiguous views, the
+ data is converted to C first. *order=None* is the same as *order='C'*.
+
.. method:: hex()
Return a string object containing two hexadecimal digits for each
