Thanks for that link. Compared to what either of us managed in the original thread, I think my first post here better articulates why the ability to explicitly release the buffer is important - not because of general memory usage, but because the object owning the buffer (e.g. a BytesIO instance) may behave differently while the buffer reference exists.
It wasn't until I saw the actual getbuffer() patch on python-checkins that this rationale actually clicked for me. |
