RE: MemoryView missing from Python 2.4 and 2.6

["Wiederhake, Tim" <tim dot wiederhake at intel dot com>]

Hi all,

Let me recap:

The python bindings I wrote break GDB compilation for Python 2.6 and below.

I wrote a patch: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-02/msg00712.html
which I later revised to this: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-03/msg00039.html

The revised patch was OK'd to push by Yao: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-03/msg00058.html
under the premise that Jose or I confirm that it works with Python 2.6.

Jose confirmed the first version: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-02/msg00715.html

As the second version does not change the actual code, I guess that is fine, too.

Joel seems to be fine with the general solution as well: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-03/msg00072.html

Do I need Eli's OK for the added line in the documentation?

Otherwise, it'd like to go ahead and push this patch.

Regards,
Tim
