Ronald Oussoren added the comment:
The patch limits os.write to writing at most INT_MAX bytes on OSX. Buffered I/O
using open("/some/file", "wb") should still write all data (at least according
to the limited tests I've done so far).
The same limitation is already present on Windows.
And as I wrote before: os.write may accoding to the manpage for write(2)
already write less bytes than requested.
I'm -1 on using an explicit exception or printing a warning about this.
