Native object exposing buffer protocol

I'd like to create a native Python object that exposes the buffer
protocol. Basically, something with a ._data member which is a
bytearray that I can still readinto, make directly into a numpy array, etc.
I can do it by inheriting the entire thing from bytearray directly, but
that gives me a whole lot of methods that are unsuitable for what I'm
doing with it, which is reading the contents of a binary file, allowing
them to be lightly malleable in memory, and then sending them on to a
device.
Not the end of the world (the file's less than 2KB), but it seems like
something that should be doable easily without having to throw around a
lot of extraneous copies.
