Summary
This PR makes
BaseEventLoop.sendfile()consistently raiseasyncio.SendfileNotAvailableErrorwhen native sendfile cannot be used for fallback-capable transports (such as SSL/TLS) andfallback=False.Currently, native sendfile failures on
_SendfileMode.TRY_NATIVEtransports already raiseSendfileNotAvailableError, while_SendfileMode.FALLBACKtransports raise a genericRuntimeError. This results in inconsistent exception behavior for the same practical condition: native sendfile is unavailable and fallback has been disabled.The change updates only the fallback-only transport path. Unsupported transports and closing transports continue to raise
RuntimeErrorunchanged.Changes
SendfileNotAvailableErrorinstead ofRuntimeErrorfor_SendfileMode.FALLBACKwhenfallback=False.Validation
Executed:
All focused tests passed.
Compatibility
SendfileNotAvailableErrorsubclassesRuntimeError, so existing code catchingRuntimeErrorcontinues to work while allowing applications to reliably detect native sendfile unavailability.Closes gh-152099.
