Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at 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.
