Summary: mmap missing offset parameter
Initial Comment:
For some reason, the author of the MMap module didn't see fit to 
expose the "offset" parameter of the mmap syscall to python. It 
would be really nice if it had that. Currently, it's always set to 0.
 m_obj->data = mmap(NULL, map_size,
 prot, flags,
 fd, 0);

I would, but I don't know the slightest about the C-level
mmap internals on any platform, and spending the last hour
looking through Python's mmap.c hasn't made me any more
informed.
James (or anyone else who reads this), are you able?

Would either of you care to provide a patch adding the
parameter? I'll review it...

I agree. Having access to the offset parameter would be
quite convenient, at least to some who use mmap in a
nontrivial fashion.
