The signature for PyBuffer_FillContiguousStrides in the documentation shows that the type of parameter 'itemsize' is Py_ssize_t [1]. This is different from the signature in Include/abstract.h which shows that the type as int [2].

Hello !  I am new to the community and would love to start my contribution here. Can I take up this bug ? 

In order to do so I am going through the following links: 

https://docs.python.org/devguide/docquality.html

Is the list exhaustive for this particular issue ? 

Thanks !
