I'm trying to write a workaround in Python, but I'm unable to write my own 
class which is compatible with "buffer interface"... What is this interface?

It works with bytes, but I don't want to inherit bytes (nor str).

  class MyBuffer(bytes):
     def __new__(self, data):
        obj = bytes.__new__(self, data)
        obj.myattribute = 42
        return obj
