David Wilson added the comment:

Good catch :( There doesn't seem to be way a to ask for an immutable buffer, so 
perhaps it could just be a little more selective. I think the majority of use 
cases would still be covered if the sharing behaviour was restricted only to 
BytesType.

In that case "Py_buffer initialdata" could become a PyObject*, saving a small 
amount of memory, and allowing reuse of the struct member if BytesIO was also 
modified to directly write into a private BytesObject
