Python2.7 documentation is missing critical information regarding the backporting of the new-buffer protocol.
There is no mention whatsoever of the Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_NEWBUFFER flag which is required to implement it. The only way to discover it is by reading the sources of the built-ins or stdlib.

I've just spent some time running around because of this. Are documentation contributions still being accepted for python 2.7 at all? Some of the buffer documentation seems to be confusing as to whether you use new or old API.

Documentation fixes to 2.7 is still accepted. Please create a PR on GitHub.
