Antoine Pitrou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Hi,
Making Py_buffer INCREF the original object is IMO the right thing to do, because in most cases letting the original object disappear means the memory region will become invalid as well. If you don't want the INCREF, you can pass NULL as the obj parameter to PyBuffer_FillInfo() - a piece of code in unicodeobject.c does just that. However, since this decision was made recently (at the same time the s* format codes were introduced), it is not reflected in the buffer API documentation. ---------- nosy: +pitrou _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3651> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
