Bug description:
bytearray.maketrans() returns a bytes type value instead of a bytearray type value as shown below:
table = bytearray.maketrans(b'abc', b'xyz')
table = bytearray.maketrans(bytearray(b'abc'), bytearray(b'xyz'))
print(type(table)) # <class 'bytes'>So, bytearray.maketrans() should return a bytearray type value like below:
table = bytearray.maketrans(b'abc', b'xyz')
table = bytearray.maketrans(bytearray(b'abc'), bytearray(b'xyz'))
print(type(table)) # <class 'bytearray'>In addition, bytes.maketrans() returns a bytes type value properly as shown below:
table = bytes.maketrans(b'abc', b'xyz')
table = bytes.maketrans(bytearray(b'abc'), bytearray(b'xyz'))
print(type(table)) # <class 'bytes'>CPython versions tested on:
