[issue12882] mmap crash on Windows

[sbt]

sbt <shibturn at gmail.com> added the comment:

You are not doing anything to stop the file object being garbage collected (and therefore closed) before the mmap is created.  Try

import os
import mmap
f = open(<Certain File>,"r+")
size = os.path.getsize(<Certain File>))
data = mmap.mmap(f.fileno(), size)
