A strong +1.
Projects such as Twisted would certainly benefit from such an addiction.
I'm not sure the os module is the right place for sendfile() to land though.
Implementation between different platforms tends to vary quite a bit.
A good resource is the samba source code which contains an

copyfileobj() still uses an user-space buffer (the Python bytes
object used in the loop). The advantage of sendfile() is to bypass
user-space logic and do the transfer entirely in

If you're gonna wrap sendfile, it might be nice to also wrap the splice, tee,
and vmsplice syscalls on linux, since they're a lot more flexible.
Also note that sendfile on BSD has a completely different signature to sendfile
on linux. The BSD one has the rather odd functionality of a built-in

This function has two drawbacks. First, it copies until EOF, and has no
possibility to copy exactly N bytes from source fd (say, opened socket).
This is the reason why I (re)wrote my custom

Eh. There would probably be some benefits, but I don't think they would
be very large in the majority of cases. Also, since adding it to 2.x
would be
