Hey Barry,
Thanks for putting this PEP together. This is really helpful.
I didn't see discussion of PEP 3118 and it's features back-ported to 
Python 2.6. I've already back-ported the new buffer API as an addition 
to the old buffer protocol.
In addition, I've planned to back-port the improvements to the struct 
module and the addition of the memoryview object (both in PEP 3118).
If you have questions, we can talk tomorrow.
Best regards,
