Which types are accepted by the readinto() method of the C io module? If the C module only accepts bytearray, the array hack must be removed from _pyio. The _pyio module is mostly used for testing purpose, it's much slower. I hope that nobody uses it in production, the module is private (underscore prefix). So it's fine to break backward compatibilty to have the same behaviour then the C module. Victor
