[issue7723] sqlite only accept buffer() for BLOB objects (input/output)

[Gerhard Häring]

Gerhard Häring <gh at ghaering.de> added the comment:

As far as I can see the docs for Python 3.x need to be adjusted. In particular http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/sqlite3.html#sqlite-and-python-types

buffer should then there probably be replaced by memoryview. As far as I can see, the Python 3 definition of the old "buffer" interface is "anything that I can apply memoryview to". At least that was my interpretation when doing the Python 3 port of the sqlite3 module.

Correct?

When returning BLOBs, the sqlite3 module now returns bytes objects. I think this could be changed to memoryview without causing any problems.
