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(MCLFUTURE); //do stuff here munlockall(); Is there anything similar in Python?

Python doesn't wrap those function itself, but maybe some extension modules does (or you could wrap it a second: http://pastebin.com/m3286272c http://pastebin.com/m33ca908d)

Also, this list is for development of Python, not development with Python (one of the most used messages this month).

TIA & kind regards Evgeni Golov
