Category: Python Library Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Josiah Carlson (josiahcarlson) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: The array module and the buffer interface Initial Comment: It would be terribly convenient if array objects were willing to take any object supporting the buffer interface as initialization or extension via a.fromstring(). They currently offer the buffer interface for other objects to read/write once the array has been created, but they do not accept buffers during creation or extension (except for the typecode 'c'). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Josiah Carlson (josiahcarlson) Date: 2005-04-28 05:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=341410 I couldn't sleep, so I started working on it. Note: a.fromstring(buf_obj) works in Python 2.3 and 2.4, it just isn't documented, nor is it exposed via array_new. I've got less than 20 lines of changes that seem to be necessary for array(typecode, buf) to be supported, including documentation and unittest updates. I'll sleep on it (I'm getting tired) and upload it tomorrow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Josiah Carlson (josiahcarlson) Date: 2005-04-27 23:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=341410 Not right now, but I could probably have one for you tomorrow. You want doc updates and tests too? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Raymond Hettinger (rhettinger) Date: 2005-04-27 22:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80475 Do you have a patch? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1190033&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
