I think this issue is largely superseded by PEP 3118 <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3118>, which is being backported to 2.6 (see issue2393). AFAICT, the only functionality not available from the new buffer protocol is the ability to create new array objects from C code, but this patch does not provide such functionality either. Travis, can you weigh in on this? I think it may be useful to expose newarrayobject() through some C API compatible with PEP 3118, but otherwise this proposal seems redundant.
