Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
It should be possible to easily make memoryview objects from pointer-able ctypes objects with an arbitrary length. In the same way we can currently use ctypes.string_at() to create bytes objects. The advantage of using memoryview objects is that we can elide a buffer copy.
import ctypes
a = (ctypes.c_ubyte * 10)()
ctypes.buffer_at(a, 10, True)[0] = 1
assert a[0] == 1
a[0] = 2
assert ctypes.buffer_at(a, 10, True)[0] == 2
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
