The *initializer* is omitted if the array is -empty, otherwise it is a string if the *typecode* is ``'c'``, otherwise it is a +empty, otherwise it is a string if the *typecode* is ``'u'``, otherwise it is a list of numbers. The string is guaranteed to be able to be converted back to an array with the same type and value using :func:`eval`, so long as the :func:`array` function has been imported using ``from array import array``.
