New submission from desbma: Sorry if it has already been discussed, or if this is a stupid idea.
By looking at the signature, my thought was that the only use of shutil.copyfileobj was to wrap the use of sendfile, and use a fallback if it is not available on the system or not usable with "fake" Python files (not having a file descriptor, eg. like gzip.GzipFile). By looking at the implementation, I was surprised that it does not try to call os.sendfile. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 250401 nosy: desbma priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: shutil.copyfileobj should internally use os.sendfile when possible _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25063> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
