[PyQt] QSharedMemory Example Crashing

[Cody Scott]

On Windows 10 with Python 3.6.2 and PyQt5==5.9 from PyPI I get the same
traceback when I select an image.


examples\ipc\sharedmemory> python sharedmemory.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "sharedmemory.py", line 132, in loadFromFile
    self.sharedMemory.data()[:] = buf.data().data()
ValueError: cannot modify the size of a sip.voidptr object

On Linux with Python 3.5.2 the example works properly.
