Well, I have multiple scripts using multiple libraries using the new mmap
objects.
So, I would have to change those scripts (if I don't change the libraries),
or change the libraries. And when I want to distribute my apps with bbfreeze
(similar to py2exe), I also need to handle that  import hackery. This is
what I call ugly :) (at least in comparison to linux).
