[Python-Dev] buffer objects

[Tim Peters]

Note that "the buffer object problem" is an annual pointless discussion.
The last big round on Python-Dev was near the start of June 2001, under the
unlikely Subject "strop vs. string".  Nobody volunteered to do anything then
either, although one person made a big show of agreeing to plug the holes,
and then didn't.  That's how it usually ends.

If you want to "do something" here, I suggest reading the old threads to get
coverage of the outstanding issues.  Nothing new has been said or suggested
in years.
