#pyramid

I see

I am trying to find the answer but SO.com search is not working

yeah I think it uses the sendfile syscall to send it from the fs to the socket directly

cguardia: Ill give it a looksee

I would assume Pyramid does the same, as its pretty much from the same authors

which server would that be? is the zope server wsgi?

waitress is based on zope server

I guess waitress doesn't actually use sendfile under the hood though... too bad

flag

@Mikko: I'd love to see benchmarks to show X-SendFile is actually going to be any faster. I am somewhat sceptical, since serving a blob file is very, very efficient in Zope. The original request thread is closed, and the file streaming is handled entirely by the underlying async polling implementation, Zope / Plone doesn't have to do anything anymore once the blob file has been located. Apache and nginx will do exactly the same. – Martijn Pieters♦ May

waitress does currently no special sendfile stuff I read in the docs

"The machinery which handles a file wrapper currently doesn't do anything particularly special using fancy system calls (it doesn't use sendfile for example); using it currently just prevents the system from needing to copy data to a temporary buffer in order to send it to the client."

at least ... if i had the right version

raydeo: ah hah

yeah that one raydeo

it could though!

someone should write a PR

I wonder which is easier to implement, sendfile() or x-sendfile

yes

the issue is waitress is cross platform and sendfile is a linux thing

sendfile() is not that hard: take this file and stream it

would be nice to have that option I guess when heavy file serving is needed

(may it be x-sendfile or sendfile)

bind: yeah problem with x-sendfile is that you still need a front end web server to take care of the thing

file permissions, etc.

yeah ... sendfile would make more sense

imho

yeah the file has to be accessible to the nginx process

dont want a globally used nginx to peek into my services homedir for example

bind: also if you run uwsgi in prod you can simply do http://nullege.com/codes/search/uwsgi.sendfile

lot of options :D

python has more web frameworks than javascript has build tools

uwsgi doesn't inject wsgi.file_wrapper?

raydeo: you can return raw uwsgi response from a pyramid view

yeah but why would I want to

:p

if you want quick access to sendfile

also that doesn't help with pyramid's static views

or should file_wrapper do it?

it looks like uwsgi does support it

uwsgi supports anything

wsgi.file_wrapper should handle over the file as far as I know

you just need to ask on mailing list from Roberto how to do it

as it's not shining star of documentation

should receive the file i mean

it's an optional protocol bind

servers don't have to give you that hook

I know ... but the pyramid.static module i believe checks for it

yes

I think something related was late addition to pyramid

faint memory of changelogs

ah 1.3

not so late

I love they link directly to PEP https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/#optio...

ah the pep even has an example polyfill

Method__ if you want to do docs work, http://pyramid-blogr.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ needs to be updated for Pyramid 1.6 from 1.5

it takes about 4 hours to run through the tutorial itself, and doc and code updates would take about that much time again

it's low down in my OSS queue. i'm focusing on trypyramid.com and the new Sphinx theme
