Why is ['\x00'+'\x31'] converted into ['\x001] ?

Since python shows chr(0) as '\x00', you got the result. Try:

>>> chr(0)
'\x00'
>>> a=chr(0)+chr(0x31)
>>> a
'\x001'
>>> len(a)
2

You see '\x001' is combined actually by 2 letters.  You may give another
try:

>>> a='\x01'+'\x02'
>>> a
'\x01\x02'
>>> len(a)
2

Hope that helps you :)
