New submission from Daniel Hrisca <daniel.hri...@gmail.com>:
First I have to apologize if this was discussed before; I've searched the
issues and googled the problem but I got nothing obvious.
I'm trying to pass a memoryview slice as argument to struct packing functions
to avoid creating intermediate bytes objects
from struct import Struct
s = Struct('<2Q500s').pack_into
buffer = bytearray(7000)
data = bytes(300)
s(buffer, 0, 500, 500, memoryview(data)[4:])
and I get this error:
error: argument for 's' must be a bytes object
Why is it not possible to use memoryviews in this case?
It is also strange for me that we can use a memoyview as the target buffer, so
this works fine:
s(memoryview(buffer)[10:], 0, 500, 500, data[4:])
