title: Meaning of '\0\0' in Python?
body: <p>I'm looking at a 3rd party API and they have the following piece of code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def array_u16 (n): return array('H', '\0\0'*n)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I understand that <code>'\0'</code> means <code>NULL</code>, does <code>'\0\0'</code> have any special meaning or does it just mean 2 <code>NULL</code>s?</p>
