result = memoryview(result)[bytes_read:]would avoid a truncation which can imply a memory copy in the worst case, no?There was a problem hiding this comment.

the resize "shrink" in bytearray doesn't actually resize unless the buffer's "capacity" is 2x the requested size (https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Objects/bytearrayobject.c#L201-L214). Just updates its internal "this is how long the bytes is" counter (which for things like full-file readall with known size, this should already be just one byte over the right size).
My plan currently is to make it so
bytes(bytearray(10))andbytearray(b'\0' * 10)both don't copy (Ongoing discussion in https://discuss.python.org/t/add-zero-copy-conversion-of-bytearray-to-bytes-by-providing-bytes/79164). Having amemoryviewwould mean there's more than one reference to the bytearray, and I couldn't do / use that optimization.There was a problem hiding this comment.

Ok, I'm fine with using
result.resize()here.
