Greetings,
I need a little help with buffer objects. Many Python objects export
the buffer interface, or can be persuaded to create a buffer object
with a buffer() call.

It must be me but I have found the whole buffer thing difficult to
understand from the docs, it appears only useful to C coders, but I
use the buffer interface (GetData()) of wx.Image objects a lot in my
work.
The 1.x/2.x buffer interface was not considered terribly successful.
Buffer() is gone in 3.0. I believe class memoryview() (which supports
viewing the 'buffer' as an n-dimensional array) is considered to be its
replacement. You might find the latter in 2.6 also.
Images, in particular, will be viewed as row x column x color, or color
x row x column, or whatever, as defined by the attributes of the memory
view object in a standardized format.
