To complement ESR: - written 3 years ago - exports a file-like interface, defines 2 object types: shm & sem - resembles buffer but lacks the slice interface. - has all sysV shared memory bells & whistles + native semaphore support http://sirac.inrialpes.fr/~marangoz/python/shm Technically, mmap is often built on top of shared memory OS facilities. Adding slices + Windows code for shared mem & semaphores + a simplified unified interface might be a plan.

I would be +1 if you could get it to work on Windows, +0 otherwise.
