Description Simon Feltman 2013-10-12 10:21:24 UTC 
The idea is we can use GArrays in Python wrapped with a memoryview object. This would allow potentially zero copy for buffers in certain cases.

Add wrapped GArray

Very rough implementation which relies on memoryview for implementing the 
various sequence and item protocols.

add __gbufferinfo__

Work in progress for supporting a custom "__pygi_getbufferinfo__" method for 
overrides. The idea GI overrides could implement this and specify 
information on how to create a Python buffer object from the objects 
internal fields.
Comment 3 Simon Feltman 2014-02-06 03:52:00 UTC 
Adding this feature would break caller expectation and should require explicit enablement. This bug now depends on bug 723736.
