WPS336 Explicit String Concat with Bytes

[Sxderp]

What's wrong

msg = {'Hello': 'World'}
nul_term = json.dumps(msg).encode('utf8') + b'\x00' 

The second line gets flagged with WPS336.

How it should be

Not flagged? I'm not sure what the "proper" way to deal with bytes is for WPS.

I think this should work. Defining b'\x00' as a constant (e.g., NULL_BYTE = b'\x00') should do the trick.

import json

Define a constant for the null byte

NULL_BYTE = b'\x00'

msg = {'Hello': 'World'}
nul_term = json.dumps(msg).encode('utf-8') + NULL_BYTE

[sobolevn]

Yes, I agree: define a constant.
