Stefan Krah added the comment: Yuriy: cast() does not do this. What's requested is that e.g. a single float is represented as a bytes object instead of a float.
Thus, you'd be able to do: m[0] = b'\x00\x00\x00\x01' This has other implications, for example, two NaNs would compare equal. Hence the suggestion memoryview(raw=True). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15944> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
