New submission from Christopher Li <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: The os.mmap function does not take file offset as requirement. As a result, if python want to mmap a piece of the file data at the very end of the file, it needs to mmap the every thing before that.
Without offset argument, it is hard to work with large files. I make a patch to add the offset arguments to mmap function call a while back. I wish it get included in the future version of python. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2005-May/324213.html Thanks ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 72416 nosy: chrisl severity: normal status: open title: [patch] allow mmap take file offset as argument type: feature request versions: Python 2.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3765> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
