Hi,
I'd like to write a small daemon in Python, which should never be swapped out (on Linux, this daemon will be Linux specific, so no need in a platform-independent solution).
In C I'd do: #include <sys/mman.h> mlockall(MCL_FUTURE); //do stuff here munlockall();
Is there anything similar in Python?
TIA & kind regards Evgeni Golov

Python doesn't wrap those function itself, but maybe some extension modules does (or you could wrap it a second: http://pastebin.com/m3286272c http://pastebin.com/m33ca908d)
Also, this list is for development *of* Python, not development *with* Python (one of the most used messages this month).

I would like things like this added to core python, but since you are restricting yourself to linux, you can use a (trivial) ctypes wrapper.
