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 prohibited, it will be at least several years before Twisted
actually benefits from its addition to the standard library.
Plus, Pavel Pergamenshchik wrapped sendfile for Twisted already many
years ago, but no one was interested enough to actually land the change
in trunk.
However, if it would help, I'm sure Pavel's code can be contributed to
CPython. If anyone would like to take a look:
