[New-bugs-announce] [issue23754] Add a new os.read_into() function to avoid memory copies

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor:

Sockets have a recv_into() method, io.IOBase has a readinto() method, but there is no os.read_into() function. It would avoid memory copies. It would benefit to the Python implementation FileIO (readall() and readinto() methods), see the issue #21859.
