Martin Panter added the comment: On further thought, I think releasing the buffer would not be the best long-term solution. I encountered this bug when wrapping custom AuditableBytesIO objects (Lib/test/test_httpservers.py) with BufferedWriter, where the raw object just saves each write() buffer in a list for later use.
Serhiy: what you say sounds like what I had in mind, except I suspect it doesn’t matter whether the memoryview is backed by a bytes object or something else. The main point is we allocate a new buffer if the old one is still referenced by the memoryview. It seems this problem has already been discovered, along with BufferedReader and PyUnicode_Decode(): <https://bugs.python.org/issue15903#msg170642>. The BufferedReader case can have more serious consequences because it is writable (Issue 15994). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26720> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
