New submission from Serhiy Storchaka: Some builtins accept only read-only bytes-like objects (PyArg_Parse format codes "s#", "z#", "y", and "y#"). Proposed patch makes them accepting also mutable bytes-like objects such as bytearray.
I'm not sure that all these changes are useful, but in some cases this can get rid of copying binary data created in bytearray (e.g. read by readinto()). ---------- components: Extension Modules files: accept_mutable_buffers.patch keywords: patch messages: 232244 nosy: serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Accept mutable bytes-like objects type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37373/accept_mutable_buffers.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23001> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
