Detailed Description

Base class for classes that implement the buffer protocol.

The buffer protocol allows Python objects to expose a low-level
memory buffer interface. Before Python 3.12, it is not possible
to implement the buffer protocol in pure Python code, or even
to check whether a class implements the buffer protocol. In
Python 3.12 and higher, the ``__buffer__`` method allows access
to the buffer protocol from Python code, and the
``collections.abc.Buffer`` ABC allows checking whether a class
implements the buffer protocol.

To indicate support for the buffer protocol in earlier versions,
inherit from this ABC, either in a stub file or at runtime,
or use ABC registration. This ABC provides no methods, because
there is no Python-accessible methods shared by pre-3.12 buffer
classes. It is useful primarily for static checks.
