so, still: sorry no, the application should not just look at the result being returned.

If it doesn't want to lose data, it has to, because of the way it's currently implemented. There is no other way (other than ignoring the error) in Python 2.5.x and earlier.

The mmap.flush method should be fixed.

I never debated that. I debated whether that is a "rather severe" issue, which I still don't think it is.

Regards, Martin
