Add seekable method for mmap.mmap · Issue #111835 · python/cpython (original) (raw)
Bug report
Bug description:
mmap.mmap has a seek() method, but no seekable() method. Because of this, it cannot be used an argument for ZipFile, which requires a file-like object with seekable. A small patch is enough to fix this
class SeekableMmap(mmap.mmap): def seekable(self): return True
Now SeekableMmap can be passed to ZipFile without issue. It's easy to fix, but I can't think of any reasons why mmap shouldn't have a seekable method.
