I am looking at this as a naive user, and can only assume that the claims are correct.

+The new C-level buffer API has been backported to Python 2.6 and the
+Python-level :class:`memoryview` object has been backported to Python 2.7.
+To be clear, in Python 2.6 and 2.7, there are two C-level interfaces, both
+exposed by the :ctype:`PyBufferProcs` interface: the new buffer API and the
+old buffer API. The :class:`memoryview` object is the product of the new API
+while :class:`buffer` is the product of the old API (the former of which is
+only available in 2.7+).

This part strikes me as a bit jumbled. Is it necessary to discuss 2.6 in 2.7 docs? the last parenthetical comment repeats what was said in an earlier sentence.

Benjamin, I am adding you because you are listed as an author of the section being revised.
