I think the problem is still whether to use 'u' == UCS2 and 'w' == UCS4 like in PEP-3118. For the project I'm currently working on I'd need these for buffer exports: >>> from xnd import * >>> x = xnd(["abc", "xyz"], dtype="fixed_string(10, 'utf16')") >>> y = xnd(["abc", "xyz"], dtype="fixed_string(10, 'utf32')") >>> >>> memoryview(x) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: type is not supported by the buffer protocol The use case is not an array that represents a single utf16 string, but an array *of* fixed strings with different encodings. So x would be exported with format 'u' and y with format 'w'. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36299> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
