That's useless, no?

No, we need it for tests below that tests indexing into ba[].

We allocate a bytearray of the same size as the bytearray just released in memoryview in hope that it will be allocated at the same memory. It helps to check that we do nor read/write a freed memory.

class MyIndex:
def __index__(self):
release()
return 4
class MyFloat:
def __float__(self):
release()
return 4.25
class MyBool:
def __bool__(self):
release()

In my PR, I tried to make the code more generic to test more cases: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/93127/files#diff-d41c6bb40a1e03fea5a20d15c4077413e0ddde65651147922b625b03a66a2f16R399:

        b = self.rw_type(self._source)
        view = self._view(b)

This test is very long. Can you try to factorize similar code and use loop with subTest(), and put pack operations in one test method and unpack in another test method?

Then we will need to duplicate the definitions of internal classes.

The tested code is so different, that it is difficult to use a loop. And I think that the result will be more complicated.

Fix ``memoryview`` use after free when accessing the backing buffer in certain cases.

I propose to mention more explicitly that the protection is about released views:

If a memoryview is released while getting or setting an item, raise an exception.
For example, converting an object to an index can execute arbitrary Python
code which can indirectly release the memoryview.

Not always an exception is raised.

The bug was in reading or wring the freed memory. Now it is prevented -- you either get an exception or free the memory after reading. @Fidget-Spinner's description is more correct.

I am going to address such inconsistency in a separate issue.
