[New-bugs-announce] [issue2393] Backport buffer interface in Python 3.0 to Python 2.6

[Travis Oliphant]

New submission from Travis Oliphant <oliphant at enthought.com>:

Some (or all) of PEP 3118 should be backported to Python 2.6 because it
does not require backward-incompatible changes and can assist in the
transition to 3.0.   

This issue is to be sure that the buffer-interface portion of PEP 3118
is backported.  This does not mean that any objects in Python will
necessarily use the new buffer interface.  Any such changes would be
entered as separate issues.
