Issue 4557: array('c') in python 3.0 produces error, doc says it is ok (original) (raw)

def char_sieve(): char_data = array('c') ...

produces: File ".../prime.py", line 78, in char_sieve char_data = array('c') ValueError: bad typecode (must be b, B, u, h, H, i, I, l, L, f or d)

However, http://docs.python.org/3.0/library/array.html?highlight=array#module-array says that 'c' is a legal value.
