are you sure? does it implement the bf_getreadbuffer slot? afaik, afaicr, and from what I can tell by looking briefly at the sources, the binascii.b2a_base64 function uses the the s# marker, and that argument type accepts strings *and* read only buffers, right away. no extra crud should be necessary. </F> _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
