Hmm, I think it's simpler if the rotate is done in-place rather than returning a new object. Most uses of memoryviews are going to be with APIs requiring a single contiguous segment. (of course for read-only buffers it would raise an error) _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3489> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
