Stefan Krah <ste...@bytereef.org> added the comment:
memoryview.cast() was originally meant to be a faster version of tobytes(), which always converts to C-contiguous. The 'shape' keyword was added because it is odd if you can cast from ND-C to 1D-Bytes but not back. I'm not sure if we should introduce that feature, just pointing out that the original decision to exclude non 'C' views was deliberate. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34778> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
