I was looking for a way to expose a simple
memoryview
to python, i.e. pointer + size without additional overhead. PyMemoryView_FromMemory() seems to be well suited for this, but pybind11 has no matching constructor for it.I added two alternative constructors for
py::memoryview
using the FromMemory creator, allowing for read/write access or read-only ifconst
classified.
