If mmap should use size_t because it should cover all possible memory region which size_t can represent but Py_ssize_t cannot, maybe should PyArg_ParseTuple support size_t?

I'm not sure neither.

I think the problem is that mmap uses size_t as length, but uses
Py_ssize_t for PyArg_ParseTuple. (PyArg_ParseTuple doesn't support
size_t) I think this discrepancy should be fixed.

If mmap should use size_t because it should cover all possible memory
region which size_t can represent but Py_ssize_t cannot, maybe should
PyArg_ParseTuple support size_t?
