[issue14953] Reimplement subset of multiprocessing.sharedctypes using memoryview

[Richard Oudkerk]

New submission from Richard Oudkerk shibt...@gmail.com:

The attached patch enables creation of shared objects allocated from shared 
memory using memoryview objects instead of ctypes.

This enables the use of shared memory on systems where ctypes is unavailable.

The new functions/classes RawArray, RawValue, Array and Array have been added 
to multiprocessing.heap.  They are almost equivalent to the functions/classes 
of the same name in multiprocessing and multiprocessing.sharedctypes when a 
letter typecode is used (rather than a ctypes type).

The differences in behaviour are due to the differences between memoryview 
objects and ctypes arrays.  The most noticeable is the fact that you can't set 
a slice using an arbitrary sequence, so

arr = multiprocessing.RawArray('i', [0]*10)
arr[:3] = [1,2,3]

has to be rewritten to something like

arr = multiprocessing.heap.RawArray('i', [0]*10)
arr[:3] = array.array('i', [1,2,3])

(No documetation yet.)
