memoryview as it exists in 2.7 and 3.2 misbehaves when used with certain buffer exporters - while Antoine bashed it into shape (mostly) for 1D views into 1D objects, it's rather temperamental if you try to go beyond that. So it affects the Python level as well, in terms of what objects are likely to upset memoryview. Still, I think backporting would be a lot of work for relatively small benefit, so it ends up in my "with infinite resources, sure, but with limited resources, there are more fruitful things to be doing" pile.
