Hello I have some implementation that currently uses python 2.6.4, which I m trying to upgrade to Python 2.7.6. After upgrade, I get the following error: "expected string or Unicode object, memoryview found" On checking further, I could find that memory view object has been back ported to python 2.7 using this patch: https://bugs.python.org/issue2396 I would like to know if it is safe to revert this patch alone from Python 2.7.6, or do we know if there are any other dependencies? Thanks Regards Sesha
