According to https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getrlimit.2.html there is no 
RLIMIT_VMEM on linux, RLIMIT_AS is the closest equivalent.

Also note that according to 
https://edwards.sdsu.edu/research/memory-and-core-usage-on-sge/,

Linux systems use RLIMIT_AS instead of RLMIMIT_VMEM.

My system (MacOS), also has RLIMIT_AS defined but not RLIMIT_VMEM.

[issue40772] module 'resource' has no attribute 'RLIMIT_VMEM'

Andrei Kulakov  added the comment:

The docs for resource module state:

This module does not attempt to mask platform differences — symbols not defined 
for a platform will not be available from this module on that platform.

Therefore I think this can be closed.
