A bunch of people, myself included, want to use Python as a persistent network server. Proper support for reading into already-allocated memory, and non-copying strings are pretty indispensable for serious production use.

A mutable bytes type with deque-like performance characteristics (i.e O(1) insert/pop at index 0 as well as at the end), as well as the appropriate mutating methods (like read_into()) should go a long way to meeting those needs.

Cheers, Nick.
