Craig McQueen <python at craig.mcqueen.id.au> added the comment:
The documentation implies that memoryview always accesses bytes:
* "len(view) returns the total number of bytes in the memoryview, view."
* "Taking a single index will return a single byte."
But, the following example shows this is misleading:
>>> from array import array
>>> ar = array('H', [1,2,3])
>>> arv = memoryview(ar)
>>> len(arv)
3
>>> arv[1]
b'\x02\x00'
