t.p.b.FileSender : class documentation

Part of twisted.protocols.basic View Source View In Hierarchy

A producer that sends the contents of a file to a consumer.

This is a helper for protocols that, at some point, will take a file-like object, read its contents, and write them out to the network, optionally performing some transformation on the bytes in between.
