The issue that I raised in msg169472 above was that
PyMemoryView_FromBuffer() would not copy .obj from Py_buffer structure
to the memoryview. A related issue is that it looks like
PyObject_GetBuffer() often does not fill .obj either. I would expect
that PyObject_GetBuffer() would always store a new reference in .obj
to assure that the .buf pointer remains valid until PyBuffer_Release()
is called explicitly. (I am ignoring the issue of mutable objects
such as lists for the moment.) PyMemoryView_FromBuffer() in turn
should store an additional reference in its own private copy of
Py_buffer structure. After PyMemoryView_FromBuffer() returns a
well-behaved program should call PyBuffer_Release() releasing the
first reference and the second reference should be released in
memoryview destructor. Am I missing something?
