New submission from Giorgos Verigakis <[email protected]>:
A demonstration:
>>> buf = create_string_buffer('______')
>>> memmove(buf, 'SPAM', 4)
614584
>>> buf.raw
'SPAM__\x00'
>>> buf = create_string_buffer('______')
>>> memmove(buf, u'SPAM', 4)
614672
>>> buf.raw
'S\x00\x00\x00__\x00'
FWIW memmove fails in Python 3.0 too.
