STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: About the patch:
- Why not reading itemsize from buffer.itemsize? - A test would be nice in Lib/test/test_array.py (in test_tofromstring?). Please add also a.extend(bytearray(b'xjxjx')) to the test suite. I agree that it is a bugfix and so i can be applied to 3.1 (and 3.2). -- > fromstring should become frombytes. I remember an issue proposing that. I also prefer .frombytes() name: we can add .frombytes() and keep .fromstring() as an alias to .frombytes() (and maybe mark it as deprecated). A message: http://bugs.python.org/issue3565#msg71205 An issue starting at: http://bugs.python.org/issue1023290#msg92069 Can someone open a issue about .frombytes()? > fromunicode is still needed. Can someone open a new issue about .fromunicodes()? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8990> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
