The documentation for buffer protocol and memoryview objects contains references to "PIL-style arrays". Since PIL [1] seems dead (it was not ported to Python 3) and superseded by Pillow [2], I think it is worth to update these references. Either rename "PIL-style arrays" to "Pillow-style arrays" or change the wording to more general. [1] http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ [2] http://python-pillow.org/

I guess I don't really see much of an issue: The first link for "PIL Python" goes Pillow page and since Pillow is just a fork, the technical term is IMHO "PIL-style". I like to give credit to original authors.

Indeed, the name of the top-level package is PIL in Pillow. Unless you want to rewrite the wording or add links I think this issue can be closed.

I think I want to leave it as is. Probably no one is using suboffsets anyway. :-)
