[issue21797] mmap read of single byte accesses more that just that byte

[Jesús Cea Avión]

Jesús Cea Avión added the comment:

Kevin, mmap is not appropriate for your use. Looks like writing your own module would be simple enough. If performance is not a problem, maybe ctypes/cffi pointer magic encapsulate in your own custom class would be enough for you.

I mark this bug as "not a bug" since you are using mmap+python outside of "specs". Feel free to reopen if you don't agree but, please, provide a rationale.
