Providing an array of (pointer,length) wouldn't be too much extra work for a split vector implementation. Guido van Rossum: > But there's always a call to remove the gap (or move it to the end). Yes, although its something you try to avoid. I'm not saying that this is an important use-case since no one seems to have produced a split vector implementation that provides the buffer protocol. Numeric-style array handling is much more common so deserves priority.
