Stefan Krah <ste...@bytereef.org> added the comment:
memoryview can store anything, but only access and display the native format. The reason is that conversions in the manner of the struct module are very expensive. You can construct all sorts of formats that memoryview cannot handle: >>> x = array(1, "c") >>> x array(b'1', dtype='|S1') >>> y = memoryview(x) >>> >>> list(y) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> NotImplementedError: memoryview: unsupported format 1s I don't think that the message is obscure, since all these facts are documented. ---------- assignee: -> skrah _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39610> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
