The original wording in the PEP is this: readonly -------- an integer variable to hold whether or not the memory is readonly. 1 means the memory is readonly, zero means the memory is writable. To me this means that a hypothetical compiler that could figure out at compile time that the readonly flag is set would be allowed to put the buffer contents into the read-only data section.
