[issue33864] collections.abc.ByteString does not register memoryview
New submission from Jason Fried <me@jasonfried.info>: Looking at the typing Module docs in the section for ByteString This type represents the types bytes, bytearray, and memoryview. But collections.abc.ByteString does not have memoryview registered. Is it because memoryview doesn't support .index()? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 319557 nosy: docs@python, fried, lukasz.langa priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: collections.abc.ByteString does not register memoryview type: behavior versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33864> _______________________________________
Josh Rosenberg <shadowranger+python@gmail.com> added the comment: memoryview isn't just for bytes strings though; the format can make it a sequence of many types of different widths, meanings, etc. Calling it a BytesString would be misleading in many cases. ---------- nosy: +josh.r _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33864> _______________________________________
Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettinger@gmail.com> added the comment: The docs should be made more precise. Perhaps, "This type represents the types bytes, bytearray, and memoryview of byte sequences"? ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33864> _______________________________________
