Sebastian Hagen <sh_pyb...@memespace.net> added the comment: Well, it doesn't *need* to accept them ... but it would certainly be nice to have. If you've already got the filename in a bytearray object for some reason, being able to pass it through directly saves you both a copy and the explicit conversion code, which is a double-win.
>From an interface POV, it'd be even better if memoryview was allowed, too ... is there a specific reason that it's not? If one kind of simple readable buffers work, I don't see any good reason not to support all such objects. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7561> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
