I'm okay with bytearray not being subclassable in 2.6 as a temporary measure. I wouldn't want that to leak into 3.0 though, and I'd rather have it subclassable in 2.6 as well. I wonder why it doesn't work in 2.6 but does work in 3.0? On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 5:05 PM, Christian Heimes wrote:

Hello!

I've successfully back ported the bytearray type and the io module from 3.0 to 2.6. The code is available in the branch trunk-bytearray [1]. I'm down to four failing byte tests and one failing io test. The failing byte tests are all related to pickling and subclassing.

I like to get the remaining tests fixed for the upcoming release in a week. Please checkout the branch and help me figure out the remaining issues.

Follow up:

All failing bytearray tests were caused by subclasses of bytearray. I've removed the Py_TPFLAGS_BASETYPE flag for now. Are you fine with the inclusion of bytearray although it can't be subclassed?

I'm going to fix the last io bug now. I like to merge the backport of bytearray and io before the next alpha gets shipped out.

So, now the byte object behaves equal in 2.6 and 3.0, right?

Thanks!

Correct! The bytearray type and the new IO system are now backported to Python 2.6. Christian

Yay indeed! Of course the new I/O module will undergo changes (Ping is working on it still I believe). Try to keep an eye on it so the improvements can be backported. On Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 6:00 AM, Facundo Batista wrote:

Thank you very much for this effort!

So improvements to backported features will be merged into 2.6?
