Really, os.writev() suffer from SC_IOV_MAX. This is documented for socket.sendmsg(), but not for os.writev():

The operating system may set a limit (sysconf() value SC_IOV_MAX) on the number of buffers that can be used.

Also it is not documented that os.writev() is not awailable on Windows (!)
Also see issue27346
