........
  r61917 | christian.heimes | 2008-03-26 00:57:06 +0100 (Wed, 26 Mar 2008) | 1 line

  The type system of Python 2.6 has subtle differences to 3.0's. I've removed the Py_TPFLAGS_BASETYPE flags from bytearray for now. bytearray can't be subclasses until the issues with bytearray subclasses are fixed.
........
  r61920 | christian.heimes | 2008-03-26 01:44:08 +0100 (Wed, 26 Mar 2008) | 2 lines
