Martin Panter added the comment: Here is a patch that allows any “C-contiguous” memoryview() to be cast to a byte view. Apart from the test that was explicitly checking that this wasn’t supported, the rest of the test suite still passes. I basically removed the check that was generating the “source format must be a native single character” error.
If two NANs are represented by the same byte sequence, I would expect their byte views to compare equal, which is the case with my patch. ---------- keywords: +patch stage: -> patch review versions: +Python 3.6 -Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file40139/cast-bytes.patch _______________________________________ 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
