In « Parsing arguments and building values » (c-api/arg.html), it should be made clear that "*" typecodes are recommended over the "#" typecodes, which are inherently unsafe. (more generally, the page is totally unreadable, a solution might be to group the typecodes by family: numbers, strings/buffers, objects; also, there are so many choices that it's confusing which ones should be preferred) |

This only really applies in 2.x, actually. In 3.x, "#" should be discouraged for another reason: it is overly strict and will only accept pure read-only objects (which don't have a bf_releasebuffer method); even bytearrays will be rejected. |

The 3.x arg.html seems a great improvement to my eye compared to the 2.x version so I'd guess this can be closed as out of date. |
