/*
   Get a the data from an object as a contiguous chunk of memory (in
   either 'C' or 'F'ortran order) even if it means copying it into a
   separate memory area.

   Returns a new reference to a Memory view object.  If no copy is needed,
   the memory view object points to the original memory and holds a
   lock on the original.  If a copy is needed, then the memory view object
   points to a brand-new Bytes object (and holds a memory lock on it).

   buffertype

   PyBUF_READ  buffer only needs to be read-only
   PyBUF_WRITE buffer needs to be writable (give error if not contiguous)
   PyBUF_SHADOW buffer needs to be writable so shadow it with
                a contiguous buffer if it is not. The view will point to
                the shadow buffer which can be written to and then
                will be copied back into the other buffer when the memory
                view is de-allocated.  While the shadow buffer is
                being used, it will have an exclusive write lock on
                the original buffer.
