Unlike normal string objects, however, these are mutable. You can use mmap objects in most places where strings are expected; for example, you can use the <a class="reference internal" href="re.html#module-re" title="re: Regular expression operations."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">re</span></tt></a> module to search through a memory-mapped file. Since they’re mutable, you can change a single character by doing <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">obj[index]</span> <span class="pre">=</span> <span class="pre">'a'</span></tt>, or change a substring by assigning to a slice: <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">obj[i1:i2]</span> <span class="pre">=</span> <span class="pre">'...'</span></tt>. You can also read and write data starting at the current file position, and <a class="reference internal" href="#mmap.seek" title="mmap.seek"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">seek()</span></tt></a> through the file to different positions.</p> <p>A memory-mapped file is created by the <a class="reference internal" href="#module-mmap" title="mmap: Interface to memory-mapped files for Unix and Windows."><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">mmap</span></tt></a> constructor, which is different on Unix and on Windows. In either case you must provide a file descriptor for a file opened for update. If you wish to map an existing Python file object, use its <tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">fileno()</span></tt> method to obtain the correct value for the <em>fileno</em> parameter. Otherwise, you can open the file using the <a class="reference internal" href="os.html#os.open" title="os.open"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">os.open()</span></tt></a> function, which returns a file descriptor directly (the file still needs to be closed when done).</p> <div class="admonition note"> <p class="first admonition-title">Note</p> <p class="last">If you want to create a memory-mapping for a writable, buffered file, you should <a class="reference internal" href="io.html#io.IOBase.flush" title="io.IOBase.flush"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">flush()</span></tt></a> the file first. This is necessary to ensure that local modifications to the buffers are actually available to the mapping.</p> </div> <p>For both the Unix and Windows versions of the constructor, <em>access</em> may be specified as an optional keyword parameter. <em>access</em> accepts one of three values: <tt class="xref py py-const docutils literal"><span class="pre">ACCESS_READ</span></tt>, <tt class="xref py py-const docutils literal"><span class="pre">ACCESS_WRITE</span></tt>, or <tt class="xref py py-const docutils literal"><span class="pre">ACCESS_COPY</span></tt> to specify read-only, write-through or copy-on-write memory respectively. <em>access</em> can be used on both Unix and Windows. If <em>access</em> is not specified, Windows mmap returns a write-through mapping. The initial memory values for all three access types are taken from the specified file. Assignment to an <tt class="xref py py-const docutils literal"><span class="pre">ACCESS_READ</span></tt> memory map raises a <a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#exceptions.TypeError" title="exceptions.TypeError"><tt class="xref py py-exc docutils literal"><span class="pre">TypeError</span></tt></a> exception.
