Can you file a documentation issue on github. com/python/cpython to track fixing this?
Okay will do.
What is undocumented exactly? PEP 3118 – Revising the buffer protocol | peps.python.org is quite terse but it still counts as documentation
Well…
- by documented I mean documented on docs.python.org. At least a link to the proposal would be good, though an actual explanation would be better. I think the usual standard for being documented isn’t “the information exists in a proposal but docs.python.org does not mention the proposal and contradicts it.”
- Meador Inge and others seems to suggest that 3118 is overly vague and in particular leaves it unclear what a grammar for the format strings is implement PEP 3118 struct changes · Issue #47382 · python/cpython · GitHub
Thankfully we can use the Numpy implementation as a reference. I will try to help out with this.
