Martin v. Löwis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Here is a patch adding the s* format, and changing files, sockets, and fileio to use it. For bz2, the immediate effect is that you get a type error (as an object providing bf_releasebuffer cannot be converted through s#/w# anymore); it would be possible to fix bz2 also to use s*/w* instead.
I'd like reviewers to focus on flaws in the approach and bugs in the implementation; existing code should be converted to the new API afterwards (or not converted at all for 2.6/3.0, but only as patches get contributed). If this is accepted in principle, I'll forward-port it to 3.0.
