This can only be raised (above the hard limit) by a privileged process, so I would be out of luck there, as I could not convince my sysadmins to raise this further. Anyway, I don't really care anymore, I use my own, patched mmap module since I filed this bug. I don't quite understand why this module made an attempt to convert a simple mmap() to something more complex, with hidden state and resize() methods and whatnot :) - but it has been done, and I understand that you have to maintain backwards compatibility. Still, it would be nice if there was some way to get the result of a plain and simple mmap() as a buffer. Meanwhile, I will just use my own module, so feel free to close this if you feel like it :) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10897> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
