I suggested this not knowing whether Python would ever grow support for sendfile(), since it seemed like the sort of thing that performance-oriented async-io frameworks might want to set up with ctypes or similar. However, I've just discovered that os.sendfile() will be in Python 3.3: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/os.html#os.sendfile Since your PEP has a 3000-series number anyway, os.sendfile() might potentially be quite useful. _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
