Martin Panter added the comment: I think which technique (copy or view) is better depends on the situation. If you are making a large temporary slice, a view may be more efficient. But if you are making a long-term slice and don’t need the original any more, a copy would allow the original memory to be freed early.
Do you have any use cases? You can already get a kind of slice view into bytes etc by using memoryview(). ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26077> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
