New submission from Antoine Pitrou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: PyMemoryViewObject has a "base" field which points to the originator of the buffer. However, this field has become redundant now that the Py_buffer struct has received an "obj" field which also points to the originator of the buffer (this has been done as part of the fix to #3139).
Not removing "base" would make for a confusing and error-prone API. However, removing it is complicated by the fact that "base" is sometimes abused to contain a tuple (for PyBUF_SHADOW type buffers, which are neither mentioned in the PEP nor used anywhere in py3k). ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 71164 nosy: pitrou, teoliphant priority: critical severity: normal status: open title: redundant "base" field in memoryview objects type: behavior versions: Python 3.0 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3560> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
