Yes. But creating multigigabyte files is very slow on Windows. On Linux/FreeBSD test_mmap takes a fraction of a second, whereas on Windows it takes over 2 minutes. (Presumably Linux/FreeBSD is automatically creating a sparse file.) So adding assertions to an existing test is more convenient than creating another huge file just for these new tests. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16743> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
