Wolfgang Maier added the comment: same speed is not surprising though as shutil.copyfileobj is implemented like this:
def copyfileobj(fsrc, fdst, length=16*1024): """copy data from file-like object fsrc to file-like object fdst""" while 1: buf = fsrc.read(length) if not buf: break fdst.write(buf) which is essentially what I was proposing :) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21146> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
