Ok, sorry! I wanted to do this:

--- snip ---
from mmap import mmap, MAP_ANONYMOUS
mm = mmap(-1, 1024, MAP_ANONYMOUS)
--- snap ---

But I got an EnvironmentError, "[Errno 22] Invalid argument" (on
Linux2.6, btw.). The reason why I want to use anonymous mapping is
that it only allocates the memory it actually uses.

Greetings,
