  207. <span id="bufferobjects"></span><span id="index-0"></span><h1>Buffer Protocol<a class="headerlink" href="#buffer-protocol" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h1>

  208. <p>Certain objects available in Python wrap access to an underlying memory

  209. array or <em>buffer</em>.  Such objects include the built-in <a class="reference internal" href="../library/stdtypes.html#bytes" title="bytes"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bytes</span></code></a> and

  210. <a class="reference internal" href="../library/stdtypes.html#bytearray" title="bytearray"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bytearray</span></code></a>, and some extension types like <a class="reference internal" href="../library/array.html#array.array" title="array.array"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">array.array</span></code></a>.

  211. Third-party libraries may define their own types for special purposes, such

  212. as image processing or numeric analysis.</p>

  213. <p>While each of these types have their own semantics, they share the common

  214. characteristic of being backed by a possibly large memory buffer.  It is

  215. then desirable, in some situations, to access that buffer directly and

  216. without intermediate copying.</p>

  217. <p>Python provides such a facility at the C level in the form of the <a class="reference internal" href="#bufferobjects"><span class="std std-ref">buffer

  218. protocol</span></a>.  This protocol has two sides:</p>

  219. <ul class="simple" id="index-1">

  220. <li><p>on the producer side, a type can export a “buffer interface” which allows

  221. objects of that type to expose information about their underlying buffer.

  222. This interface is described in the section <a class="reference internal" href="typeobj.html#buffer-structs"><span class="std std-ref">Buffer Object Structures</span></a>;</p></li>

  223. <li><p>on the consumer side, several means are available to obtain a pointer to

  224. the raw underlying data of an object (for example a method parameter).</p></li>

  225. </ul>

  226. <p>Simple objects such as <a class="reference internal" href="../library/stdtypes.html#bytes" title="bytes"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bytes</span></code></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="../library/stdtypes.html#bytearray" title="bytearray"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bytearray</span></code></a> expose their

  227. underlying buffer in byte-oriented form.  Other forms are possible; for example,

  228. the elements exposed by an <a class="reference internal" href="../library/array.html#array.array" title="array.array"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">array.array</span></code></a> can be multi-byte values.</p>

  229. <p>An example consumer of the buffer interface is the <a class="reference internal" href="../library/io.html#io.BufferedIOBase.write" title="io.BufferedIOBase.write"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">write()</span></code></a>

  230. method of file objects: any object that can export a series of bytes through

  231. the buffer interface can be written to a file.  While <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">write()</span></code> only

  232. needs read-only access to the internal contents of the object passed to it,

  233. other methods such as <a class="reference internal" href="../library/io.html#io.BufferedIOBase.readinto" title="io.BufferedIOBase.readinto"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">readinto()</span></code></a> need write access

  234. to the contents of their argument.  The buffer interface allows objects to

  235. selectively allow or reject exporting of read-write and read-only buffers.</p>

  236. <p>There are two ways for a consumer of the buffer interface to acquire a buffer

  237. over a target object:</p>

  238. <ul class="simple">

  239. <li><p>call <a class="reference internal" href="#c.PyObject_GetBuffer" title="PyObject_GetBuffer"><code class="xref c c-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PyObject_GetBuffer()</span></code></a> with the right parameters;</p></li>

  240. <li><p>call <a class="reference internal" href="arg.html#c.PyArg_ParseTuple" title="PyArg_ParseTuple"><code class="xref c c-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PyArg_ParseTuple()</span></code></a> (or one of its siblings) with one of the

  241. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">y*</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">w*</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">s*</span></code> <a class="reference internal" href="arg.html#arg-parsing"><span class="std std-ref">format codes</span></a>.</p></li>

  242. </ul>

  243. <p>In both cases, <a class="reference internal" href="#c.PyBuffer_Release" title="PyBuffer_Release"><code class="xref c c-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PyBuffer_Release()</span></code></a> must be called when the buffer

  244. isn’t needed anymore.  Failure to do so could lead to various issues such as

  245. resource leaks.</p>

  246. <section id="buffer-structure">

  247. <span id="id1"></span><h2>Buffer structure<a class="headerlink" href="#buffer-structure" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>

  248. <p>Buffer structures (or simply “buffers”) are useful as a way to expose the

  249. binary data from another object to the Python programmer.  They can also be

  250. used as a zero-copy slicing mechanism.  Using their ability to reference a

  251. block of memory, it is possible to expose any data to the Python programmer

  252. quite easily.  The memory could be a large, constant array in a C extension,

  253. it could be a raw block of memory for manipulation before passing to an

  254. operating system library, or it could be used to pass around structured data

  255. in its native, in-memory format.</p>

  256. <p>Contrary to most data types exposed by the Python interpreter, buffers

  257. are not <a class="reference internal" href="structures.html#c.PyObject" title="PyObject"><code class="xref c c-type docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PyObject</span></code></a> pointers but rather simple C structures.  This

  258. allows them to be created and copied very simply.  When a generic wrapper

  259. around a buffer is needed, a <a class="reference internal" href="memoryview.html#memoryview-objects"><span class="std std-ref">memoryview</span></a> object

  260. can be created.</p>

  261. <p>For short instructions how to write an exporting object, see

  262. <a class="reference internal" href="typeobj.html#buffer-structs"><span class="std std-ref">Buffer Object Structures</span></a>. For obtaining

  263. a buffer, see <a class="reference internal" href="#c.PyObject_GetBuffer" title="PyObject_GetBuffer"><code class="xref c c-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PyObject_GetBuffer()</span></code></a>.</p>

  742. <h3>PIL-style: shape, strides and suboffsets<a class="headerlink" href="#pil-style-shape-strides-and-suboffsets" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h3>

  743. <p>In addition to the regular items, PIL-style arrays can contain pointers

  744. that must be followed in order to get to the next element in a dimension.

  745. For example, the regular three-dimensional C-array <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">char</span> <span class="pre">v[2][2][3]</span></code> can

  746. also be viewed as an array of 2 pointers to 2 two-dimensional arrays:

  747. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">char</span> <span class="pre">(*v[2])[2][3]</span></code>. In suboffsets representation, those two pointers

  748. can be embedded at the start of <a class="reference internal" href="#c.Py_buffer.buf" title="Py_buffer.buf"><code class="xref c c-member docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">buf</span></code></a>, pointing

  749. to two <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">char</span> <span class="pre">x[2][3]</span></code> arrays that can be located anywhere in memory.</p>

  750. <p>Here is a function that returns a pointer to the element in an N-D array

  751. pointed to by an N-dimensional index when there are both non-<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NULL</span></code> strides

  752. and suboffsets:</p>
