Martin Panter added the comment:
Assuming Issue 23756 is resolved and various standard library functions are
meant to work with any C-contiguous buffer, then it makes sense to me for
memoryview.cast("B") to work for any C-contiguous buffer. I also got the
impression that David, Yuriy, and Eryksun all support this.
I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want this behaviour. It seems pointless
just to maintain symmetry with being unable to cast back to “<d”. And casting
from e.g. floating point to bytes to integers already disregards the original
data type, so casting from unsupported types to bytes should be no worse.
