The lack of inheritance support is the same in Python 2.7.3 so I doubt 
that there's any change there.

Quoting Nick Coghlan from http://bugs.python.org/issue15622#msg167957 
"PEP 3118 contains way too many errors (as has been found out the hard 
way) to be considered a normative document.".  I can't say that this 
gives me a great deal of confidence.  It strikes me that a lot of code 
has been written, tested and released without having anything like a 
requirement.  For example when is any given memoryview equal to or not 
equal to any other memoryview?
