Martin Panter added the comment: I agree it is a nice idea, but have the same concern as David. Many pseudo file objects wrap real file descriptors. E.g. BufferedReader hides unread data in a buffer, GzipFile decompresses data, HTTPResponse decodes chunks. Detecting when sendfile() is appropriate would be hard to do. And I understand some platforms only support sockets.
Also I notice that 3.5 has a new socket.sendfile() method (Issue 17552), which partly overlaps with this proposal. BTW the 3.4 os documentation should not mention the socket method, but it does! ---------- nosy: +martin.panter type: -> enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25063> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
