+      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.
