[Python-checkins] CVS: python/dist/src/Doc/ext ext.tex,1.83,1.84

[M.-A. Lemburg]

Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Doc/ext
In directory slayer.i.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv2917/Doc/ext

Modified Files:
	ext.tex 
Log Message:
Special case the "s#" PyArg_Parse() token for Unicode objects:
"s#" will now return a pointer to the default encoded string data
of the Unicode object instead of a pointer to the raw UTF-16
data.

The latter is still available via PyObject_AsReadBuffer().

  pointer to a character string, the second one its length.  In this
  case the Python string may contain embedded null bytes.  Unicode
! objects and all other read buffer compatible objects pass back a
! reference to the raw internal data representation. In case of Unicode
! objects the pointer points to a null-terminated buffer of 16-bit
! Py_UNICODE (UTF-16) data.
