Python memoryview() Method
The memoryview() method returns a memory view object of the given object. The memoryview object allows Python code to access the internal data of an object that supports the buffer protocol without copying.
Syntax:
memoryview(obj)Parameters:
obj: Object whose internal data is to be exposed.
Return type:
Returns a memory view object.
The following example demonstrates the memoryview() method.
Example: memoryview()
barr = bytearray('Python','utf-8')
mv = memoryview(barr)
print(type(mv))
print(mv[0])
print(mv[1])
print(mv[2])
print(mv[3])
print(mv[4])
print(mv[5])
print('Converted to list: ', list(mv)) # convert to list
Output
<class 'memoryview'>
80
121
116
104
111
110
Converted to list: [80, 121, 116, 104, 111, 110]We can also update the object in memory view.
Example: memoryview()
barr = bytearray('Python','utf-8')
mv = memoryview(barr)
print(type(mv))
mv[0] = 65
print(barr)
Output
bytearray(b'Aython')
