Hello,
some time ago I contributed a couple of patches to speedup
shutil.copy*() functions:
https://bugs.python.org/issue33671
https://bugs.python.org/issue33695
I would like to backport both functionalities so that they can be used
on Python 2.7 and <3.8 and put it on PYPI. In order to do so I will
basically have to copy some parts of shutil module (copytree()
function + the unit-tests I added in BPO-33671 and a couple of other
things). Are there constraints regarding this in terms of license? Am
I supposed to use GPL? (I was thinking about using MIT)
Note: in this package called "zerocopy" I will probably want to expose
other functionalities such as tee(), splice() and CopyFileEx and
TransmitFile on Windows, so it's probably gonna be half a backport and
half a brand new project.
Thanks.
Thanks for the contributions. I don't know about the licensing.
I wonder if you should make two packages, though... one just exactly a
backport of the shutil speedups, and the second containing the new
functionalities.
