Hi, I opened issue #8215 about PyTuple_Parse*() outdated documentation. When I read the code, I found two functions: getbuffer() and convertbuffer(). getbuffer() checks that the buffer is contigious, whereas convertbuffer() doesn't. We can group formats by contigious check:
- contigious buffer: s, y*, z*, w* - discontigious buffer: s#, y, z, t, w, w# I tried to test formats accepting discontigious buffer but I didn't found any function or library to test this. I'm not sure that functions using s#, y, z, t, w, w# format do really support discontigious buffer and it's just a bug in getargs.c. Do someone have information about that? Should it be fixed (only accept contigious buffer)? -- Victor Stinner http://www.haypocalc.com/ _______________________________________________ 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
