Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: os.fstat wouldn't work since it succeeds with non-"regular" files, e.g. standard I/O:
>>> os.fstat(0) posix.stat_result(st_mode=8592, st_ino=5, st_dev=11, st_nlink=1, st_uid=500, st_gid=5, st_size=0, st_atime=1323629303, st_mtime=1323629303, st_ctime=1323628616) I think the best solution is to call sendfile() and catch OSError, then fallback on the generic loop. However, you must also guard against fileno() failing: >>> io.BytesIO().fileno() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> io.UnsupportedOperation: fileno ---------- nosy: +pitrou _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13564> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
