System V shared memory in Python?

Question

How can I make use of the shmat(), shmdt(), shmctl(), shmget() calls from Python? Are they hidden somewhere in the standard library?

Update0

I'm after System V bindings that can be found in the Ubuntu repositories, or Python standard libraries (now or in future releases).

Answer 1

Google finds sysv_ipc.

Answer 2

This page offers a feature matrix to help you choose between the posix_ipc, sysv_ipc, and shm modules.

Answer 3

If you don't want to use any non-standard Python libraries, perhaps you could wrap the functions you need yourself using ctypes?
