Sometimes a leak is exactly what's wanted, i.e. a standing block of shared memory that allows sharing processes come and go ad libitum. I mention this because I haven't seen anyone mention it explicitly. While turicas's monkeypatch covers the use case in which a manually-named block of shared memory is intended to remain indefinitely, it would be best if future versions of shared_memory allowed for such a use case, too. It shouldn't be necessary to monkeypatch in order to have a standing block of shared memory remain ready and waiting even when nobody's using it. ---------- nosy: +steve.newcomb _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38119> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
