New submission from Diego Argueta <[email protected]>:
It'd be really great if we could have support for using the `heapq` module on
typed arrays from `array`. For example:
```
import array
import heapq
import random
a = array.array('I', (random.randrange(10) for _ in range(10)))
heapq.heapify(a)
```
Right now this code throws a TypeError:
TypeError: heap argument must be a list
I suppose I could use `bisect` to insert items one by one but I imagine a
single call to heapify() would be more efficient, especially if I'm loading the
array from a byte string.
>From what I can tell the problem lies in the C implementation, since removing
>the _heapq imports at the end of the heapq module (in 3.6) makes it work.
