Why would the program fail to recognize it? It should just look at the result being returned.

sorry no. everything else raises an error. this is not documented (as far as I can see) and mmap.flush returns 0 on unix if it succeeds, and raises an exception on unix if it fails.

on windows it returns 1 if it succeeds and 0 if it doesn't (One more time: on unix it returns 0 if it succeeds).

Regards,

I agree that this is fairly unpythonic, but I also think that there is any data loss that this may cause is the application's fault.
