Wait. Isn't a `memoryview` memerely a Python object for a buffer inferface, whatever its valid attributes or flags might be ? The perceived oddness that lead to the addition of the keyword 'shape' was a good initial instinct that something was off, but this is an incomplete workaround . If the rationale was to follow what `tobytes` is doing, this delegates the justification for excluding non 'C' views it. Then I do not understand the rationale behind `memoryview.tobytes`'s exclusive relationshop to C-contiguous arrays. A memmoryview is a window on a memory region (a Python buffer), and one would expect `tobytes` to just return bytes for it (in whatever bytes/strides) the memoryview is originally in. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34778> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
