A memoryview
object exposes the C level buffer interface as a Python object which can then be passed around like any other object.
PyMemoryView_FromObject
Create a memoryview object from an object that provides the buffer interface. If obj supports writable buffer exports, the memoryview object will be read/write, otherwise it may be either read-only or read/write at the discretion of the exporter.
PyMemoryView_FromMemory
Create a memoryview object using mem as the underlying buffer. flags can be one of PyBUF_READ
or PyBUF_WRITE
.
New in version 3.3.
PyMemoryView_FromBuffer
Create a memoryview object wrapping the given buffer structure view. For simple byte buffers, PyMemoryView_FromMemory()
is the preferred function.
PyMemoryView_GetContiguous
Create a memoryview object to a contiguous chunk of memory (in either ?C? or ?F?ortran order) from an object that defines the buffer interface. If memory is contiguous, the memoryview object points to the original memory. Otherwise, a copy is made and the memoryview points to a new bytes object.
PyMemoryView_Check
Return true if the object obj is a memoryview object. It is not currently allowed to create subclasses of memoryview
.
PyMemoryView_GET_BUFFER
Return a pointer to the memoryview's private copy of the exporter's buffer. mview must be a memoryview instance; this macro doesn?t check its type, you must do it yourself or you will risk crashes.
PyMemoryView_GET_BASE
Return either a pointer to the exporting object that the memoryview is based on or NULL
if the memoryview has been created by one of the functions PyMemoryView_FromMemory()
or PyMemoryView_FromBuffer()
. mview must be a memoryview instance.
