I'm not too interested in this anymore (I _was_ a year ago, IIRC). I have given up using the buffer object myself, I've written my own (maybe in the same way as others).
Right.
Maybe the name 'buffer' suggests false expectations? It's not a buffer, it's an alias for a memory area.
Hm. The name could be right (and I cold give up my own memory object) if there were a way to create a buffer owning it's own memory.
Maybe your memory object could become a standard Python extension. Extra points if it works well with the memmap and the array modules. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
