[Python-Dev] mlockall() in Python? (original) (raw)

Hi,

I'd like to write a small daemon in Python, which should never be swapped out (on Linux, this daemon will be Linux specific, so no need in a platform-independent solution).

In C I'd do: #include <sys/mman.h> mlockall(MCL_FUTURE); //do stuff here munlockall();

Is there anything similar in Python?

TIA & kind regards Evgeni Golov
