Certain objects available in Python wrap access to an underlying memory array or buffer. Such objects include the built-in bytes and bytearray, and some extension types like array.array. Third-part...| Python documentation
The way the Python packaging community is organised is something that I’ve explained in multiple places, in multiple contexts. I figure that it’ll be useful to actually write it down in a single place, so that I don’t have to repeat myself. The Python Packaging Authority The Python Packaging Authority (PyPA) is a fairly loose group of projects that happen to be related to Python packaging. While the PyPA has a formal governance model, there’s no “oversight” or “enforcement” on...| pradyunsg.me
