> Do we have a recommended (and preferably briefer) way of saying, "any > object that supports the buffer protocol"? It depends where. There's no recommended way yet, but I would vote for "bytes-like object" in error messages that are targetted at the average developer. The docs (glossary?) could explain that "bytes-like object" is the same as "buffer-providing object" or "object implementing the buffer protocol".
