In `Array`, `Py_ssize_t[::1]` objects are currently backed by CPython `array`'s with some internal bits expressed in Cython. However these are not compatible with Python's Limited API and Stable ABI. To address that, switch to Cython's own`array` type. As this is baked into Cython and doesn't use anything special, it is compatible with Python's Limited API and Stable ABI. https://cython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/userguide/memoryviews.html#cython-arrays

Did a simple benchmark in this comment: rapidsai/kvikio#504 (comment) Basically this is a bit slower, but no more than the time of 1-2 attribute accesses on an object |

I tried to do some benchmark with UCX-Py but the variability prevents us from reaching any conclusive results regarding performance before and after this change, where sometimes results are better before and other times after, therefore I think it doesn't impose any negative impact that would be noticeable in practical use cases. |
