Antoine Pitrou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: If I try to follow the chain the consequences: - all PyArg_ParseTuple("s#") calls that release the GIL afterwards should be re-written to use another API (which one I don't know exactly, but hopefully the appropriate functions are already provided by the buffer API); this applies to third-party extension modules as well - consequently, forward compatibility is broken in an important way (but it would probably be ok for py3k) - perhaps the bytearray type should not have been backported to 2.6, or perhaps it should carry a big warning in the documentation
