Currently array.array can export a memoryview but can't construct from one without copying the underlying buffer - so array supports only half of the buffer protocol. This patch allows construction of a new array from a memoryview, using the memoryview's memory as its underlying buffer. The resulting array object behaves the same as an array object that has exported buffers: all methods except those that would move or resize or free the underlying buffer are available.
