info is still in python right?

Hmm i assumed that the PyObject_GetBuffer in buffer::request copies it over but it might not from a quick deeper look at the code.. will review again tomorrow (or just move the release because it anyway doesn't really matter that much in this case)!

Okay changed it, see 353a623. There were even some more cases were info.ptr was passed into Bytes and then into ::FromBytes which still would have been an access to that memory without the GIL (Bytes only stores the pointer).

Let's get this in after 1.3? |
Yeah sure good to me, im anyway waiting for 1.3 that i can start to bug again about all the GIL release PRs in the other repos too :) |
