Generally speaking: no, you do not have to rely on numpy, but can use your own favourite way of accessing the data, either by using the ctypes pointer to the pixels directly or wrapping it into a Python array, byte array or something else. If you plan to do so, I recommend you to take a brief look at the sdl2/ext/array.py code, which contains several ways of accessing and converting such a buffer. It might save you some time to create your own implementation.
