Thanks for that, Antoine. It is an improvement over tobytes(), but i am
afraid it is still not ideal for my purposes.
I would suggest asking the psycopg2 project why they made this choice, and
if they would reconsider. Returning a memoryview doesn't make much sense IMHO.
I agree.
"memoryview objects allow Python code to access the internal data of an
object that supports the buffer protocol without copying."
Example: the binary image data of an image object.
They are not intended to be a standalone objects when there is an
obvious alternative (in this case, bytes).
