Mix of struct and mmap module for python

smmap

This python module is a mix of the python struct and mmap modules. Function signature is like the original mmap module with a bunch of stuff stripped out (windows, resize, msync, ...) to get faster started, and which I don't need.

mmap(fileno, length, format[, access[, offset]])

fileno, length, offset are the same as in the mmap module. access only supports ACCESS_READ and ACCES_WRITE. format needs to be a single character string:

• b signed char
• B unsigned char
• h short
• H unsigned short
• i int
• I unsigned int
• l long
• L unsigned long
• f float
• d double
