Nick Coghlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Antoine's latest patch looks to me like it will fix the current actual errors in the 1-D case.
Something that may also be considered part of this bug is the fact that "m[i] = m[i]" doesn't currently work for itemsize > 1. There is a XXX comment in the memory view implementation as to whether we should require "itemsize == itemsize" in addition to "len == len" when replacing sections of a memoryview. I think the failure of self-assignment shows that we should only be caring about whether or not the total memory size being overwritten matches, rather than the underlying format or size. Alternatively, we could just special case it and say that assignemnt from buffers with itemsize=1 (i.e. raw bytes) is always acceptable, regardless of the itemsize of the buffer underlying the memoryview. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4580> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
