Sorry, I mischaracterised Antoine's suggestion in my last comment. It's more in the nature of ManagedBuffer exposing two APIs: 1. request_release(): tells ManagedBuffer "if I have the last reference, release the buffer now". 2. release(): immediately releases the buffer, or triggers SystemError if there are additional references to the buffer. memoryview.release() would call the first method before dropping the reference to the buffer.
