Problem:
In Python, you have an io.BytesIO
instance containing some data. You want to copy that data to a file (or another file-like object).
Solution:
Use this function:
def copy_filelike_to_filelike(src, dst, bufsize=16384): while True: buf = src.read(bufsize) if not buf: break dst.write(buf)
Usage example:
import io myBytesIO = io.BytesIO(b"test123") with open("myfile.txt", "wb") as outfile: copy_filelike_to_filelike(myBytesIO, outfile) # myfile.txt now contains "test123" (no trailing newline)
