How is the memory allocated for numpy arrays in python?

Numpy array saves its data in a memory area seperated from the object itself. As following image shows:

To get the address of the data you need to create views of the array and check the ctypes.data attribute which is the address of the first data element:

import numpy as np
a = np.zeros((3, 2))
print(a.ctypes.data)
print(a[0:1, 0].ctypes.data)
print(a[0:1, 1].ctypes.data)
print(a[1:2, 0].ctypes.data)
print(a[1:2, 1].ctypes.data)
