Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I am looking at this as a naive user, and can only assume that the claims are correct.
+The new C-level buffer API has been backported to Python 2.6 and the +Python-level :class:`memoryview` object has been backported to Python 2.7. +To be clear, in Python 2.6 and 2.7, there are two C-level interfaces, both +exposed by the :ctype:`PyBufferProcs` interface: the new buffer API and the +old buffer API. The :class:`memoryview` object is the product of the new API +while :class:`buffer` is the product of the old API (the former of which is +only available in 2.7+). This part strikes me as a bit jumbled. Is it necessary to discuss 2.6 in 2.7 docs? the last parenthetical comment repeats what was said in an earlier sentence. Benjamin, I am adding you because you are listed as an author of the section being revised. ---------- nosy: +benjamin.peterson, terry.reedy stage: -> patch review _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17145> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
