A posix dup (http://www.unix.com/man-page/POSIX/3posix/dup/) would not solve it as the fd is hidden inside the python `mmap.mmap` instance that is a builtin that just exposes the python buffer interface and hides the implementation details.
The only clean solution would be to make `numpy.memmap` use a wrapper buffer object that would keep track of the filename and offset attributes instead of using a `mmap.mmap` instance directly. -- Olivier _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
