R. David Murray added the comment: No, it's to copy file like objects that aren't necessarily true file system objects. The only requirement is that they support a minimal file-like object interface. There is no suggestion or requirement that the object supports file descriptors (which would make it a real os file object).
I think changing it to use os.sendfile if possible would be too risky in terms of causing unexpected breakage (objects that look like they have a file descriptor but really don't), especially since handling file system files is explicitly not the purpose of copyfileobj. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ 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
