Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment: AFAIU final means: * final=0: I'm passing in a few bytes, but there are more to come, so if the last byte(s) doesn't make sense on its own (e.g. it's a start byte but the continuation bytes are missing), wait for the others before raising an error; * final=1: these are the last bytes, so if the last byte(s) doesn't make sense raise an error (or ignore/replace) because there won't be other bytes that might turn that in a well-formed byte sequence.
