New submission from desbma: This is related to issue25063 (https://bugs.python.org/issue25063).
Trying to use sendfile internally in shutil.copyfileobj was considered risky because of special Python files that expose a file descriptor but wrap it to add special behavior (eg: GzipFile). I believe such risk does not exist for shutil.copyfile, and it would be possible to use sendfile if available. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 250918 nosy: desbma priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: shutil.copyfile should internally use os.sendfile when possible type: enhancement versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25156> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
