Josiah Carlson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: In order for MemoryView to know what bytes it is pointing to in memory, it (generally) keeps a pointer with a length. In order to rotate the data without any copies, you need a pointer and length for each rotation plus the original. For example, the equivalent to a rotate left of 8 characters using slicing is... x[8:] + x[:8]. That is two segments. That's a "multi-segment buffer interface". But typical multi-segment buffer interfaces require each segment to be exactly the same length (like numpy), which is not the case with rotations.
