Here's an updated _writerthread idea that handles more cases:

    def _writerthread(self, fhr, fhw, length=None):
        if length is None:
            flag = True
            while flag:
                buf = fhr.read( 512 )
                fhw.write( buf )
                if len( buf ) == 0:
                    flag = False
        else:
            while length > 0:
                buf = fhr.read( min( 512, length ))
                fhw.write( buf )
                length -= len( buf )
        # throw away additional data [see bug #427345]
        while select.select([fhr._sock], [], [], 0)[0]:
            if not fhr._sock.recv(1):
                break
        fhw.close()
