Yes, on reflection it doesn't jive too well with the way python wants
to do reads, in particular - os.read takes a file and a size, there's
no buffer exposed at the API level (for input).
It would need to be a separate python module to the core set I guess
(with a C component), and a slightly different API - or at least some
additional APIs which can take in an aligned buffer, rather than just
allocating one each time - but I believe it's still feasible.
cheers.
