Impressive work and an very intresting approach. I have yet to figure out pros/cons or the variety of options this will give when writing applications/modules. Big plus for giving ctypes a way out of their crappy struct definitions. A few quick questions: Is the concept here that items always are contiguous in memory (=why the strides cant be defined in the format-spec) ? What will PyObject_SizeFromFormat(''(5,5)5t") return ? What are the total memory size of format:'5t' shape:ndim=2,shape=(5,5),strides=NULL ? Huw would the "getbufferproc" function signature look inside the "X{}"-format spec ? //Torgil On 2/28/07, Travis Oliphant <oliphant@ee.byu.edu> wrote:
I just wanted to point people to the online version of the PEP. I'm still looking for comments and suggestions. The current version is here:
