Okay, then I am confusing it with changes proposed as part of a ticket
which would allow a way of sending back a file response using
optimised methods provided by hosting mechanism. For WSGI this is
wsgi.file_wrapper, but for mod_python the sendfile() function only
takes a file name. As such, the high level interface for that way of
returning a file could only take a file name and not a file like
object.
The ticket is:
