Calculating the size of a string Array :: pack

Question

How do you calculate the length of the string that will be returned by Array :: pack? Is there something like python calcsize?

Answer 1

array.pack (""). count I would say. Not the fastest way, but it works.

Answer 2

By making a translator that meets the specifications found in Array :: pack .

Or reusing an existing implementation to count the number of characters instead of adding them to a string.
