Sam Rushing <rushing....@gmail.com> added the comment: I think other than the disagreement about whether the dictionary constructor arg should be a buffer object, it's good to go. To restate my position: the need is for an immutable string of bytes, and that's exactly what PyBytes_Type is for. I see no advantage to allowing a buffer object, which will require extra code to check that it is both a buffer object and set to be readonly. I believe the argument for aesthetics does not apply, as the constant dictionary constructor argument is a morally different kind of parameter, comparable to (say) the compression level.
You folks are of course welcome to change it, though. 8^) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14684> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
