Hi pythonistas. A couple of moths ago I opened an issue in the bug tracker for adding a new syscall to the os module. It's based on new developments in the Linux kernel. Here's the link:
To give more context, this is about adding support for Linux’s copy_file_range() system call.
After two months and a half I managed to create a nice patch with unit tests and documentation (yay!), but then the issue went cold. I would like to know how to proceed to get the issue going again.
I thought the main problem remaining was getting concensus about adding it, since a couple people mentioned waiting for glibc support. I don’t have much personal opinion on this, but FWIW I don’t see much disadvantage in adding it now.
I did mean to look over your latest patch, but that has drifted towards the bottom of my list of things to do :)
