Is there a way to use memory mapped files as if they were shared memory? I made an application in which some (very often non contiguous) parts of a memmap array are processed by different processors. However I might use shared memory array instead. I wonder, since both types share common properties, if there a way to interchange then transparently.

Rather, I meant that they don't pickle correctly. They use ndarray's pickling, which will copy the data, and then reconstruct an ndarray on the other side and just change the type to memmap without actually memory-mapping the file. Thus you have a __del__ method referring to attributes that haven't been set up. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
