desbma added the comment: Additional advantage of calling sendfile from shutil.copyfile: other fonctions in shutil module would automatically benefit from the use of senfile because they call copyfile directly (copy, copy2) or indirectly (copytree).
So for example, the performance of shutil.copytree should be improved for free for directory trees containing big files. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25156> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
