Well, one problem is that the original method works fine for me, as does
the copyfileobj one.  I don't have a linux box to test on, and rather
than go through the slow process of getting someone else to do the test,
I thought maybe someone could tell me a canonically correct method of
doing it.

It does seem to work (although there needs to be a seek() after the
flush()), but then the old way did too ;)

I presume from the scarcity of replies, that there *isn't* a canonical
method of doing this, and so what I've got will do.

:)  And they hid the doc on it right next to shutil.copyfile(), too -
why would I look *there*?  ;)
