Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Ah, there is a way to create non-contiguous buffers.
>>> b = bytes(range(16)) >>> m = memoryview(b) >>> m[::2].c_contiguous False > PyBUF_SIMPLE enforces contiguity. Then contiguousity check in getbuffer() in Python/getargs.c is redundant. And in most cases the use of _PyBuffer_Converter() and PyObject_GetBuffer() could be replaced by the use of "y*" and "w*" format units. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22896> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
