I've had a look at the new memoryview and associated buffer API and have a question: how is a C extension supposed to use the buffer API without going directly into the C struct Py_buffer ?
I have not found any macros for accessing Py_buffer internals and the docs mention the struct members directly (which is a bit unusual for the Python C API). Shouldn't there be a set of macros providing some form of abstraction for the struct members ? BTW: I was looking for a suitable replacement for the buffer object which isn't available in Python 3 anymore.
