[SciPy-dev] bug in 'frombuffer'

[Lisandro Dalcin]

In latest numpy from SF, file multiarraymodule.c

static char doc_frombuffer[] = \
	"frombuffer(buffer=, dtype=int, count=-1, offset=0)\n"\
/* ... */
static PyObject *
array_frombuffer(PyObject *ignored, PyObject *args, PyObject *keywds)
{
/* ... */
	static char *kwlist[] = {"buffer", "dtype", "count", NULL};
/* ... */
	if (!PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(args, keywds, "O|O&LL",
/* .. */

It seems that 'kwlist' is missing an "offset" entry. This causes an
exception in Python:

>>> a = frombuffer(buff)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
RuntimeError: more argument specifiers than keyword list entries
