I want to effectively slice big unicode string. So I decide to use memoryview for that in order to eliminate memory copying. In [33]: a = array.array('u', 'превед') In [34]: m = memoryview(a) In [35]: m[2:] Out[35]: <memory at 0x7efc98fcc048> In [36]: m[0] ... NotImplementedError: memoryview: format w not supported 1. Why format 'w' error if I asked 'u' ? 2. Format 'w' is not listed in https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/array.html 3. What is alternative for fast slicing, like memoryview(bytearray(b'test')), but for unicode ? ---------- nosy: +mmarkk _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15625> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
