.. attribute:: _objects

This member is either ``None`` or a dictionary containing Python objects
that need to be kept alive so that the memory block contents is kept
valid. This object is only exposed for debugging; never modify the
contents of this dictionary.
This member holds Python objects that need to be kept alive so that the
memory block contents remain valid. It is usually ``None`` or a dictionary,
but may be another object. For example, an instance created with
:meth:`from_buffer` may hold a :class:`memoryview` of the source buffer.
This attribute is only exposed for debugging. If it is a dictionary,
never modify its contents.
