[issue5231] Change format of a memoryview

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

In the mean time I had to resort to dirty hacks in 1ac03e071d65 (such as using io.BytesIO.write(), which I know is implemented in C and doesn't care about item size).

At the minimum, a memoryview.getflatview() function would be nice (and probably easier to code than the generic version). Or a "flat" optional argument in the memoryview constructor.
