R. David Murray added the comment: Well, the documentation is technically precise. I'd even managed to forget that buffer objects existed in Python2 :)
As you observed, in Python3 a buffer is something that implements the buffer protocol. What I would do is link the word 'buffer' to http://docs.python.org/3/c-api/buffer.html. Perhaps mentioning bytes and bytearray as examples of read-only and writeable buffers would be worthwhile, but they are mentioned in the first paragraph of that section so it may not be necessary. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17811> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
