Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.5 >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Adal Chiriliuc (adalx) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: struct.unpack doens't support buffer protocol objects Initial Comment: If you pass an object which supports the buffer protocol to struct.unpack it will fail because it specifically checks for a string. You should use PyObject_AsReadBuffer instead. If this code is performance critical, you could add an unpack_buffer method or something like that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Adal Chiriliuc (adalx) Date: 2006-09-23 14:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1067739 Well, because it broke previously working code and there is no warning in the documentation about that. In the mean-time, I've found out about pack_into and unpack_from which accept buffer like objects. Note that they are not documented in the struct module section, only mentioned in the "What's new" chapter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin v.
