[New-bugs-announce] [issue28646] Using a read-only buffer.

[Michael Rolle]

New submission from Michael Rolle:

Suggest that the _CData.from_buffer (source) method allow a read-only
source as an argument, in which case any assignments to
the object would raise some type of exception.
If the source is shared with some writable object,
then changes to said object would be reflected in the
_CData object.  If this behavior is not what you want,
then you could just make a new method called, say,
from_buffer_shared (source).
