Martin Panter added the comment: “u#” should not be deprecated without first deprecating “u”, which is less useful due to not returning a buffer length.
Also, I have always been mystified about how “s#”, “z#”, “y” and “y#” can properly to return a pointer into a buffer for arbitrary immutable bytes-like objects, without requiring PyBuffer_Release() to be called. Perhaps this is bad design to be discouraged. Or maybe a documentation oversight somewhere. ---------- nosy: +vadmium _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24009> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
