run the test with the -v flag:  ./python
./Lib/test/regrtest.py -v test_mmap

I think only everything should be fine up to copy-on-write
tests.  Here's what a good run looks like:

[neal@epoch c3]$ ./python ./Lib/test/regrtest.py -v test_mmap
test_mmap
<type 'mmap.mmap'>
  Position of foo: 1.0 pages
  Length of file: 2.0 pages
  Contents of byte 0: '\x00'
  Contents of first 3 bytes: '\x00\x00\x00'
                                                           
                    
  Modifying file's content...
  Contents of byte 0: '3'
  Contents of first 3 bytes: '3\x00\x00'
  Contents of second page: '\x00foobar\x00'
  Regex match on mmap (page start, length of match): 1.0 6
  Seek to zeroth byte
  Seek to 42nd byte
  Seek to last byte
