Refcount is not decreased when converting a numpy array, previously defined in Python space (i.e. not in the .pyx file), into a Cython typed memory view.
The workaround is to create a copy of the numpy array using
astype
while in Cython space. Luckily for us, most of the time no data is copied, only metadata (i.e. when the dtype stays the same).Fixes #737
