Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: I don't think we will try to support O_DIRECT. First, it is a rather platform-specific flag. Second, Python's memory allocator doesn't allow specifying an arbitrary alignment value. Third, I don't even think O_DIRECT can make a positive difference in a Python program (the open() manpage actually warns against likely performance degradation when using O_DIRECT). So I'm closing this bug, sorry.
