Eryk Sun <eryk...@gmail.com> added the comment: Additionally, the FileIO documentation states the following:
The read() (when called with a positive argument), readinto() and write() methods on this class will only make one system call. The Linux man page for write() in turn states this: On Linux, write() (and similar system calls) will transfer at most 0x7ffff000 (2,147,479,552) bytes, returning the number of bytes actually transferred. (This is true on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.) ---------- nosy: +eryksun _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31651> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
