[Python-Dev] mlockall() in Python?

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
