i only had a brief look when i was going through code looking for
potentially incorrect uses of PyByteArray_*.
I've got a patch that i believe cleans it up a little but its sitting on
a machine i don't have remote access to at the moment. i'll attach it
when i get a chance.
Looking at Lib/ssl.py it appears that recv_into needs this functionality.
I'd still suggest changing the order to be "|iO" to simplify the code a
little. The PyLong_Check(buf) could go away. I do not see any calls to
_sslobj.read() within Lib.ssl.py that only pass in a buffer without
passing in a length.
When no bytearray is passed in, the code internally uses a temporary
bytearray object which is later freed after being copied into a bytes
object. I think it would be better to just use
PyBytes_FromStringAndSize(0, len) and replace the "if (!buf_passed)"
conversion data copy with a _PyBytes_Resize? The latter will only
realloc and copy if needed.
regardless, thanks for lowering the priority. looking over the code
again I believe whats there is functionally correct even if a bit odd
looking.
