At the moment it's only registered for __builtin__.memoryview and 
__builtin__.bytearray objects. Internally it uses memoryview on the 
buffer-api supporting objects, and the <buffer> object doesn't *seem* to 
be compatible (?? weird). If you can get your buffer object into a 
buffer-api supporting object (something you can call memoryview() on) 
you should be able to pass it into the APIs.

As for testing for support,

     if OpenGL.version.__version__.split('.')[:2] >= ['3','1']:

then you should have the buffer api handler.

Hope that helps,
Mike
