I dont quite understand why the author bothers with creating ctypes bindings to the shm C API while using public shared memories. You are better served by using a tmpfs (e.g. /dev/shm) and the regular python file API + mmap. Also for reading and writing, the struct module (e.g. pack) is much more idiomatic than mapping a C style array.
