Giampaolo Rodola' <g.rod...@gmail.com> added the comment:
sendfile() on BSD/OSX is complicated by the headers/trailers args. You'll have to take that into account in the retry logic, adding unnecessary complexity. Since sendfile() may already return fewer bytes than requested (e.g. non-blocking sockets or big files) it's just easier to return the bytes sent thus far (if any). I can work on a patch once I find some time. > Wasn't the point of PEP475 that all EINTR returns would be explicitly handled > by retrying rather than forcing the user to handle it? >From PEP475: <<[...] to relieve application code from the burden of doing so>> ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36488> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
