Both PEP 574 and Davin's shared-memory work build on top of the PEP 3118 buffer API. So I would expect that any Python implementation with support for the buffer API to have the required infrastructure to also support those initiatives. The details may deserve to be clarified, though. I'll try to send an e-mail and ask for feedback.
