I would commit this, except that I'm not too happy with the use of the term "bytes-like" in general. Yesterday I mistyped this: >>> import ctypes >>> x = ctypes.c_double >>> m = memoryview(x) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: memoryview: a bytes-like object is required, not '_ctypes.PyCSimpleType' The previous error message was (changed in #16518) was: "_ctypes.PyCSimpleType does not support the buffer interface". Which I find much clearer. Memoryviews (for better or worse, but PEP-3118 was accepted) are Mini-NumPy-arrays. I'm still not sure if we should hide that from users. |
