Description dkreuter 2012-01-25 06:16:02 UTC

image_surface_create_for_data uses 'array's and PyObject_AsWriteBuffer which are considered outdated in: http://docs.python.org/c-api/objbuffer.html

The new buffer api is available from 2.6 onwards. Switching to it may even fix #44935.

The buffer API is deprecated, but so is Python 2 - they are well suited. I don't think it will ever be removed from Python 2, so it should continue to work as it is.
I'm in the process of adding the new buffer API for the Python 3 cairo version. But I don't think its worth adding it for Python 2 cairo since it is probably an incompatible change, and may break existing Python 2 code.
