On linux, I don't understand why: f = open ('/dev/eos', 'rw') m = mmap.mmap(f.fileno(), 1000000, prot=mmap.PROT_READ|mmap.PROT_WRITE, flags=mmap.MAP_SHARED)
gives 'permission denied', but this c++ code works: #include <sys/mman.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <iostream> int main() { int fd = open ("/dev/eos", O_RDWR); void* m = mmap (NULL, 1000000, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); std::cout << m << '\n'; } -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
