Thanks for the shutil.copyfileobj.
Oddly, the EOFError didnt work though.

Im trying to download a file from a server. But how do I detect EOF ?
Whenever read() method returns empty string/list.


while f1: # When to stop ?
     retval = f1.read()
     if not retval:
        break
     f2.write(retval)

Those read() should be read(size) - read() tries to get the whole contents in 
memory.
Anyway, shutil.copyfileobj already implements that logic.
