New issue 2909: PyObject_GetBuffer fails on arrays https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2909/pyobject_getbuffer-fails-on-arrays
Louis Sautier: Hello, the regex package [fails tests with PyPy](https://bitbucket.org/mrabarnett/mrab-regex/issues/145/1-fail-in-testsuite-under-pypy). Apparently `PyObject_GetBuffer(string, &str_info->view, PyBUF_SIMPLE)` does not work on `array.array` types. The relevant code is [here](https://bitbucket.org/mrabarnett/mrab-regex/src/cec0dc244e5dad3fa3994ed527ee4928b79332ef/regex_2/_regex.c#lines-17501) Test programme: ```py import regex import array a = array.array("c") regex.compile("bla").match(a) ``` Result: ``` pypy test.py PyObject_GetBuffer failed! Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 5, in <module> regex.compile("bla").match(a) TypeError: expected string or buffer ``` _______________________________________________ pypy-issue mailing list pypy-issue@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-issue
