[Python-Dev] Expose the array interface in Python 2.5?

[Greg Ewing]

Things are getting a bit confusing, because it seems
that there are two different things being discussed
here:

(1) A C-level array interface that's a generalisation
     of the buffer interface.

(2) A new multi-dimensional array object type which
     happens to implement (1).

As I understand the proposals, the important thing for
interoperability between different types is to have
(1). Whereas (2) would be useful to have, it's not
a prerequisite for (1).

Do I understand correctly?
