Martin Panter added the comment: A different test case for “unused_data” attribute was added in 2012 for Issue 16350, so that part is no longer needed.
If this feature goes ahead, it might be nice to also update the bzip and LZMA modules for consistency. In Python 3, the equivalent of the buffer() option would look like this, assuming the memory view is in byte format: zlib.decompress(memoryview(source)[unused_offset:]) Another option would be to copy some paint from the struct.unpack_from() bikeshed: [data, offset] = zlib.decompress_from(buffer, offset) ---------- nosy: +vadmium _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5804> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
