[issue19803] memoryview complain ctypes byte array are not native single character

[Stefan Krah]

Stefan Krah added the comment:

Memoryview sends a *request* to ctypes to fill in a Py_buffer struct according
to the buffer *protocol*.  IOW, memoryview knows nothing about ctypes.

For some reason ctypes fills in 'B' as the format if _pack_ is set.  I do not
know if that is intended, it could be a ctypes issue.
