New submission from tyler: It would be handy to be able to pass the `length` default argument defined by `shutil.copyfileobj()` to other public functions througout the module. When copying very large files (1GB +), increasing the memory buffer can divide the copy time in half and currently the only way to accomplish this is by overriding the needed function(s) which call `shutil.copyfileobj()`.
I propose a simple non-invasive change where the following functions will also expose the `length` kwarg and pass it downwards to `copyfileobj`: - copyfile - copy - copy2 ---------- messages: 288616 nosy: goodboy priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Expose the `length` arg from shutil.copyfileobj for public use versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29659> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
