PEP 3118 is the Revised Buffer Protocol for the python C-API. Supported natively in Python 3 and backported to the 2.x series starting at Python 2.6, PEP 3118 specifies the use of the Py_buffer structure, and the variety of API functions provided for managing both the Py_buffer lifecycle (at the C-API level) and the new memoryview objects (at the Python level).
