Yes, but we control those types. I was thinking more about third-party
exporters. Then again, it would be possible to publish the unified
hash function as part of the PEP.
Perhaps we could simply use:
PyBuffer_Hash = hash(obj.tobytes())
Since tobytes() follows the logical structure, it should work for
non-contiguous and multidimensional arrays as well.
