Martin Panter added the comment: The trouble with my original idea is that it is complex to implement, and inconsistent. If you wrote small amounts to your BufferedWriter, you would get a memoryview of bytes that you save for later. If there was a write of a large bytes object, we could pass a memoryview of that bytes object (or the actual bytes object). But if there was a write of a large bytearray, we could end up locking that bytearray, preventing it from being resized, and there could be problems mutating the bytearray.
Because I can’t see how to eliminate all inconsistencies, I prefer to document against saving the memoryview for later. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26720> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
