[from the PEP] "If the exporter wants to be able to change an object's shape, strides, and/or suboffsets before releasebuffer is called then it should allocate those arrays when getbuffer is called (pointing to them in the buffer-info structure provided) and free them when releasebuffer is called."
Even allowing this seems rather dubious to me. I suppose there's no serious danger as long as the block of memory ultimately holding the data doesn't move or change size, but changing the shape could confuse a buffer user that's iterating over the data. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
