[New-bugs-announce] [issue3805] sslobj.read py3k takes odd arguments

[Gregory P. Smith]

New submission from Gregory P. Smith <greg at krypto.org>:

Modules/_ssl.c in the py3k branch:

PySSL_SSLread():

 calls parsetuple expecting "|Oi" as arguments.

However the logic below to interpret and use the arguments is very
convoluted.  it'd be better to reorder these as "|iO" to match the api
in Lib/ssl.py.  Or even better to just get rid of the "O" all together
(currently used to pass in a bytearray buffer to write into instead of
allocating its own).

also:

it returns either a bytes or a long depending on the order and type of
arguments given.  yuck.
