Hi,
it seems the whole locking-theme has gone from PEP 3118 (PyBUF_LOCK is gone).
Yet the string and byte objects seem to provide locked buffers through
PyArg_Parse arguments s*, y* and z* (documentation says so).
Could someone please clarify the situation for me: Is it save to release the
GIL after getting a reference to a buffer-object by the arguments above and
only talking to this buffer while the GIL is gone?
And while we are at it :-) Is "PyArg_Parse('[syz]*'..." the only way to get a
locked buffer-view from string/byte objects?
Regards
ebfe
