Stefan Krah added the comment: To summarize, I think this is different from #22445, which also requests relaxed contiguity tests. #22445 is motivated by the fact that slicing can create a certain class of contiguous buffers that aren't recognized as such.
No such reason exists here: All-negative suboffsets are only created if a buffer provider chooses to hand them out instead of NULL. To my knowledge only Cython does this, and it's against the PEP (though strictly speaking not against the docs). So I'm -0.5 on this change in general and -1 for 2.7. I'd reject the issue, but let's wait for Antoine's opinion. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23352> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
