a class to memory map a disk

[Skaperen]

i have fuzzy memory of a class that would let me expose each sector of a disk. what i want to do is write a program to update selected bytes of a drive's partition table. it would let you get sectors in the form of a bytearray. then if the bytearray was modified, it would write it back to disk. it would be nice work with whole sectors. if not, i might have to do this in C.

You won't get me to use it.
I have written disk access programs by cylinder, sector, etc. and was weary of my own code.
It took a long time for gparted to be accepted.

[Skaperen]

was gparted written in Python? or are you saying that people are generally weary of things that reach down to bare metal? should i quit listening to nordic dark metal music?

[Gribouillis]

Gparted is written in C++. You could perhaps translate it to python as a proof of pythonic mastership and virtuosity.

Not saying I wouldn't accept it, but only after it had been around for a long time without bugs.

Can't advise on nordic dark metal music, but I wouldn't listen to that either.
