[issue15944] memoryviews and ctypes

[Stefan Krah]

Stefan Krah added the comment:

Yuriy: cast() does not do this.  What's requested is that e.g. a
single float is represented as a bytes object instead of a float.

Thus, you'd be able to do:

  m[0] = b'\x00\x00\x00\x01'

This has other implications, for example, two NaNs would compare
equal.  Hence the suggestion memoryview(raw=True).
