Hi, I am opening this to discuss about some possible enhancements in the multiprocessing.shared_memory module. I have recently started using multiprocessing.shared_memory and realised that currently the module provides no functionality to alter the size of the shared memory segment, plus the process has to know beforehand whether to create a segment or open an existing one, unlike shm_open in C, where segment can be automatically created if it doesn't exist. For an end user perspective I believe that these functionalities would be really helpful, and I would be happy to contribute, if you believe that they are necessary. I would also like to mention that I agree this might be by design, or because of some challenges, in which case it would be very helpful if I can know them. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 348980 nosy: davin, pitrou, vinay0410 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: alter size of segment using multiprocessing.shared_memory type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37754> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
