I didn't know a whole lot (read: nothing) about buffers and memoryviews before digging into the C side of Python. Once I found them, ran into some of the 2.7 ugliness of having /both/ buffers and memoryviews available and found the tremendous usefulness in them, I decided to write a blog post. In this post, I hope to give the reader a brief overview of what each is, detail some of the ugliness in 2.7 and provide useful information for those wanting to incorporate them into their work.
