Test program updated to create a blank background surface
of the appropriate type. This program needs to be improved
by loading a real YUV image so that the algorithm can be
confirmed.

===============
.. cfunction:: int PyObject_AsCharBuffer(PyObject *obj, const char **buffer, Py_ssize_t *buffer_len)
Returns a pointer to a read-only memory location usable as character-based
input. The *obj* argument must support the single-segment character buffer
interface. On success, returns ``0``, sets *buffer* to the memory location and
*buffer_len* to the buffer length. Returns ``-1`` and sets a :exc:`TypeError`
on error.
.. versionadded:: 1.6
.. cfunction:: int PyObject_AsReadBuffer(PyObject *obj, const void **buffer, Py_ssize_t *buffer_len)
Returns a pointer to a read-only memory location containing arbitrary data. The
*obj* argument must support the single-segment readable buffer interface. On
success, returns ``0``, sets *buffer* to the memory location and *buffer_len* to
the buffer length. Returns ``-1`` and sets a :exc:`TypeError` on error.
.. versionadded:: 1.6
.. cfunction:: int PyObject_CheckReadBuffer(PyObject *o)
Returns ``1`` if *o* supports the single-segment readable buffer interface.
Otherwise returns ``0``.
.. versionadded:: 2.2
.. cfunction:: int PyObject_AsWriteBuffer(PyObject *obj, void **buffer, Py_ssize_t *buffer_len)
Returns a pointer to a writeable memory location. The *obj* argument must
support the single-segment, character buffer interface. On success, returns
``0``, sets *buffer* to the memory location and *buffer_len* to the buffer
length. Returns ``-1`` and sets a :exc:`TypeError` on error.
