Mlock variable in python

Question

I am working on a password management application for linux and I am using Python for it.

For security reasons, I want to call a system call mlock‍‍to avoid replacing the password variable on the hard drive.

I noticed that python itself did not wrap this function.

so is there a way to avoid sharing?

thanks
