New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com>:
http://docs.python.org/py3k/c-api/arg.html is unclear about what is a "string".
Attached patch:
- Use directly bytes, bytearray and str types
- Replace "default encoding" by "``'utf-8'`` encoding"
- Add bytes and/or bytearray to "... buffer compatible object" because it's
not easy to understand what is a buffer compatible object, especially because
there are different kind of buffer objects: read-only, read-write, pinned, etc.
- Fix reST syntax ("..note ::")
- Fix "es", "es#", "et" and "et#" formats: they doesn't accept "character
buffer compatible object" (can someone double check that?)
Py_BuildValue(): I choosed to mark U and U# formats as deprecated alias to s/s#
=> see issue #8848.
I wrote the patch by reading getargs.c.
