I would do this through a converter function (O&), but yes, making it private to the io library sounds about right. Who else would benefit from it?

On Linux, mmap() prototype is:

   void *mmap(void *start, size_t length, int prot, int flags,
    int fd, off_t offset);

mmapmodule.c uses "Py_ssize_t" type and _GetMapSize() private function to convert the long integer to the Py_ssize_t type.
