-Non-essential Built-in Functions
-================================
-
-There are several built-in functions that are no longer essential to learn,
know
-or use in modern Python programming. They have been kept here to maintain
-backwards compatibility with programs written for older versions of Python.
-
-Python programmers, trainers, students and bookwriters should feel free to
-bypass these functions without concerns about missing something important.

-.. function:: buffer(object[, offset[, size]])
-
- The *object* argument must be an object that supports the buffer call
interface
- (such as strings, arrays, and buffers). A new buffer object will be created
- which references the *object* argument. The buffer object will be a slice
from
- the beginning of *object* (or from the specified *offset*). The slice will
- extend to the end of *object* (or will have a length given by the *size*
- argument).
