Portable/fast way to obtain a pointer to Numpy/Numpypy data

I recently tried PyPy and was intrigued by the approach. I have lots of C extensions for Python, which all use PyArray_DATA() to obtain a pointer to the data sections of numpy arrays. Unfortunately, PyPy doesn't appear to export an equivalent for their numpypy arrays in their cpyext module, so I tried following the recommendation on their website to use ctypes. This pushes the task of obtaining the pointer to the Python level.

There appear to be two ways:

import ctypes as C
p_t = C.POINTER(C.c_double)

def get_ptr_ctypes(x):
    return x.ctypes.data_as(p_t)

def get_ptr_array(x):
    return C.cast(x.__array_interface__['data'][0], p_t)

Only the second one works on PyPy, so for compatibility the choice is clear. For CPython, both are slow as hell and a complete bottleneck for my application! Is there a fast and portable way of obtaining this pointer? Or is there an equivalent of PyArray_DATA() for PyPy (possibly undocumented)?
