A few years ago (yes, it's been that long), I proposed adding a new
format code to struct that would pack integers as strings, similar to
the 's' format code. In particular, struct.pack('>60G', v) would be a
60-byte big-endian unsigned integer as a string. The feature request
is http://bugs.pytho

Hello,
Short story: bytearray and array.array by construction allow user code to
reallocate their internal memory buffer. But a raw pointer to the said buffer
can also be obtained by another thread, and used after releasing the GIL (for
CPU-intensive operations like compression). As a consequence

I have a general question and a specific question. First the general one:
(1) When is it okay to use C99 code in the Python core? More particularly,
is it considered acceptable to use widely-implemented library functions that
are specified in C99 but not ANSI C, or widely-implemented features th
