   Use the array module to create a buffer of a reasonable size and then
find its address as the first element of the tuple returned by the
buffer_info method.

>>> import array
>>> b = array.array('c', 'x'*1000)
>>> b.buffer_info()
(15080104, 1000)
>>>

   Ensure that the buffer object's life outlives your use of the address.
