Still, as both you and Greg have pointed out, even in its current form memoryview is already useful as a replacement for buffer that doesn't share buffer's problems
That may be so, but I was more pointing out that the elementwise functions I'm talking about would be useful even without memoryview at all. Mostly you would just use them directly on array.array or other sequence types. <rant subject="terminology"> Why is it that whenever the word "buffer" is mentioned, some people seem to think it has something to do with memoryview? There is no such thing as "a buffer". There is the buffer interface, and there are objects which support the buffer interface, of which memoryview is one among many. </rant> -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
