What's the reason again that memmap only works with binary files? Could the
functionality be extended to text files as well?
Python's mmap module support text file mapping, however I am getting another
error this time :(
In [1]: import mmap
In [2]: f = open('test.txt', 'r')
In [3]: map = mmap.mmap(f.fileno(), 0)
