And about this glossary entry:
An object that supports the Buffer Protocol
- can I take that for granted, as a real definition, meaning
an object is bytes-like iff it supports the buffer protocol?
Yes, although we

Howdy,
two small comments:

just as a quick check, I did a Python search for exactly
that phrase

Maybe it would be a good
Over the past while we've been cleaning up the docs in the area of how
do we refer to bytes, bytearray, memoryview, etc, etc? in the APIs that
deal with bytes. As you may or may not remember, we settled on the term
'bytes-like object', and have changed the docs to (we hope) consistently
use this

That's a cool stuff. `bytes-like object` is really a much better name for users.

I'm not so sure. Usually when we talk about an xxx-like object we
mean one that supports a certain Python interface, e.g. a file-like
object is one that has read() and/or write() methods.
Hi,
I prefer bytes-like than buffer protocol. By the way, is there a
documentation in Python doc which explains bytes-like and maybe list most
compatible types?
I'm not sure that the term has an unique definition. In some parts of
Python, I saw explicit checks on the type: bytes or bytearray,

create an object that supports the buffer protocol by implementing
Python methods.
Another thing is that an object implementing the buffer
interface doesn't have to look anything at all like a
bytes object from Python, so calling it bytes-like
could be rather confusing.
