Like Martin said, a missing feature. I'd also quite like the mmap module to have a C API, but as my use case is especially evil ( http://starship.python.net/crew/mwh/hacks/PPY.html ) I'm not going to push that hard :) > Is one's inability to use a = mmapinstance.__setslice__;a(1,2,'a') (and > others) a feature or bug? I'm not entirely sure about this, though. Does mmapinstance.__setitem__(slice(1,2), 'a') work? AIUI __setslice__ and __getslice__ are out of favour these days (not sure though). Any patch to fix one of these would probably also fix the other almost as a sside-effect...
