[docs] [issue24278] Docs on Parsing arguments should say something about mem mgmt for formatters returning C strings

Martin Panter added the comment: Here is a patch. Looking at the code, s#, z#, y and y# are the conversions that call convertbuffer(). These require that the object does not have a PyBufferProcs.bf_releasebuffer() method, which guarantees that the buffer’s lifetime is the same as the underlying object. In the patch I also removed a contradictory notice about nulls with the “u” conversion. ---------- keywords: +patch stage: needs patch -> patch review versions: +Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file39504/buffer-convert.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24278> _______________________________________
