Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: If you want to slice into a writable buffer, you can use a memoryview:
>>> b = io.BytesIO(b"abc") >>> m = mmap.mmap(-1, 10) >>> b.readinto(memoryview(m)[5:]) 3 >>> m[:] b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00abc\x00\x00' This only works on 3.x, though. As for changing the mmap buffer implementation, it would break compatibility and is therefore not acceptable, sorry. ---------- nosy: +georg.brandl resolution: -> rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8042> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
