Memoryview data type

[Malik Jahanzeb]

Hi,

It seems Python 3.8> use memoryview type objects to represent bytes/bytearray for efficient access. 

The code I had that used py4j worked with python 3.7 but got broken with 3.8 because apparently py4j does not expect memoryview type objects. I am currently using a workaround in py4j/compat.py as follows:

Change:

    def isbytearray(s):

        return isinstance(s, bytearray)

To:

    def isbytearray(s):

        return isinstance(s, bytearray) or isinstance(s, memoryview)

Is there a plan to add this support?

Thanks and best regards,

Malik

Hello,

I would like to join in on this request.
We are trying to incorporate Py4J in an enterprise product, but our users have a hard request for supporting latest Python versions.

Would it be possible to support Python versions newer than 3.7?

Thank you and we really appreciate the great work that has been done on the Py4J project,

Dror
