Before submitting a patch to pickle.py and cPickle.c, I'd be interested
in knowing how likely to be accepted a patch that allows Python to
pickle the buffer object.
The problem being solved is that Numeric currently has to copy all of

Wouldn't this mean you're only solving half the problem?
Unpickling a Numeric array this way would still use an
intermediate string.
