[Python-Dev] why is mmap a builtin module on windows? (original) (raw)

Hi all,

I want to use the mmap module from python trunk with python 2.5. On Linux I can easily replace it, as it is a dynamically loaded module. On windows it is a builtin module and I fear that I must compile python on windows (or resort to some other ugly hack)

What is the reason for mmap being a builtin module?

Regards,
