Allow a Py_buffer as data for Rules_match #152

Closed teskje closed 4 years ago

teskje commented 4 years ago

This makes rules matching compatible with data objects PyArg_ParseTuple does not consider read-only (even though they might actually be), such a memoryviews. The main change is replacing the s# formatter with s* and replacing the (pointer, length) pair with a Py_buffer object accordingly. Additional care must be taken to release the Py_buffer on every error path.

Resolves #147.

I need this. Maintainers, please merge. Meanwhile, is there any workaround with the current version of the library?

justanotheranonymoususer commented 4 years ago

Wow, that was fast, thanks @plusvic! Now, when is a new version planned? :)
