But I'm not holding the replacement to any kind of compatibility with the old array module, and I expect it would more likely take the form of a wrapper around anything that supports the (new) buffer API, such as bytes. This would render the array module obsolete. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
