Description

Specifically two event loop methods are still missing:

  • loop.sock_sendfile(..)
  • loop.sendfile(..)

Both were added to asyncio 3.7.

Research direction

Start by locating the event-loop entry points for loop.sock_sendfile(..) and loop.sendfile(..), then compare them with asyncio's sendfile behavior introduced in Python 3.7. Done means both methods are implemented with compatible behavior and covered by the repository's relevant tests; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
