David Wilson added the comment: Good catch :( There doesn't seem to be way a to ask for an immutable buffer, so perhaps it could just be a little more selective. I think the majority of use cases would still be covered if the sharing behaviour was restricted only to BytesType.
In that case "Py_buffer initialdata" could become a PyObject*, saving a small amount of memory, and allowing reuse of the struct member if BytesIO was also modified to directly write into a private BytesObject ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22003> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
