Martin Panter added the comment:
In Python 3.5 (since Issue 15944), you can now cast normal C-contiguous
memoryviews (including ones from ctypes) to bytes:
>>> a = (ctypes.c_double * 3)(1,2,3)
>>> m = memoryview(a)
>>> m.format
'<d'
>>> byteview = m.cast("B")
>>> byteview.format
'B'
>>> byteview[0]
0
Also, the format has changed at some point. See '<d' above vs '(3)<d' from
David’s original post. Maybe it would be nice for ctypes to use a proper struct
module format string where possible, but there doesn’t seem to be much demand.
