Also, the first sentences of third paragraph have some problems:
> For both the Unix and Windows versions of the constructor,

> ACCESS_WRITE, or ACCESS_COPY to specify read-only,

1. It redundantly says that *access* may be used for Unix and Windows.
2. It says ACCESS_DEFAULT defers to *prot* but doesn't say this is only for
Unix nor that *prot* is a parameter.
3. It doesn't say what happens on Unix if *access* is not specified except
implicitly by the earlier statement about ACCESS_DEFAULT.
Proposed change:
For both the Unix and Windows versions of the constructor,
*access* may be specified as an optional keyword parameter.
*access* accepts one of the four :ref:`ACCESS_* constants
<access-constants>`: :const:`ACCESS_READ`,
:const:`ACCESS_WRITE`, or :const:`ACCESS_COPY` to specify
read-only, write-through or copy-on-write memory
respectively, or :const:`ACCESS_DEFAULT` (the default value
if *access* is not specified) to return a write-through
mapping on Windows or defer to the value of the *prot*
parameter on Unix.
