Nick Coghlan added the comment: Was the point that memoryview.tobytes() has a known data corruption bug in 3.2 and 2.7 raised in the previous discussion? I'm pretty sure I had forgotten about it, and I don't remember it coming up in the thread.
The trickiest aspect of a backport of the new implementation is that we need to preserve the C ABI - extensions compiled against any maintenance release should work with all maintenance releases in that series. The new APIs aren't a major problem - just sprinkle a few underscores around to mark them as private on the older versions (I've certainly done that before when a bug fix genuinely needed something that qualified as a new feature: implemented a private version to use in fixing the bug on the maintenance branch, then promote that to a public API on trunk) ---------- priority: normal -> high title: PyBuffer_ToContiguous() incorrect for non-contiguous arrays -> memorview.to_bytes() and PyBuffer_ToContiguous() incorrect for non-contiguous arrays _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12834> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
