Python socket with PACKET_MMAP

Question

Is there a PACKET_MMAP or similar flag for python sockets? I know in C one can use a zero-copy/circular buffer with the previous mention flag to avoid having to copy buffers from kernel space to user space but I cannot find anything similar in the python documentation.

Thanks for any input on docs or code to look into.

So it looks like buffer or memoryview will do the trick. Although, there is some discrepancies in the sites I found regarding whether python 2.7 supported this or not, I will have to test it out to make sure
