Марк Коренберг added the comment: Well, I'm improving asyncio performance.
Instead of using bytearray as a big buffer and appending to it, I use deque of buffers. This eliminates memory copying. When writing is possible, I call writev()/sendmsg(). Unfortunatelly, OS sets limit on count of buffers passed to writev()/sendmsg(). So I should slice deque to cut first N members. This is not possible too, deque()[:N] does not work. So, I decide to use itertools.islice(deque(), 0, N) for that. This work great with sendmsg(). But fail with writev(). Also, writev guarantee atimicity with ther writes in kernel, we must not limit way of obtainig buffers before passing to kernel. If Python have emulation of writev() on OS where it is not supported, it should be thrown out, because atomicity requirements will not be accomplished. And writes to non-seekable fd from another process may be intermixed. Say, for example, files opened in append-only mode. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27020> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
