Details

    Description

      import os
      import pyarrow as pa
      
      # Create a file and memory-map it
      file_name = 'path-to-a-new-file'
      mmap = pa.create_memory_map(file_name, 100)
      
      # or open an existing file
      # file_name = 'path-to-an-existing-file'
      # mmap = pa.memory_map(file_name)
      
      # close it
      mmap.close()
      mmap.closed  # True
      
      # try to delete it (can't delete until the python interpreter is killed)
      os.remove(file_name)  # PermissionError
      
      # Note: opening an existing file as `pa.input_stream` works as expected
