New submission from Jeffrey Finkelstein <jeffrey.finkelst...@gmail.com>:
Currently imghdr.what() accepts two parameters. The first is a file or filename and the second is a byte stream. If the second is not None, the first is ignored. This is clunky. It would be simpler to accept just one argument, which can be either an open file or a byte stream. I have attached a patch which implements this one argument approach as private function imghdr_what(). I have left imghdr.what() as a wrapper around this new function for backwards compatibility (in the hopes that it will eventually be replaced). In addition, there did not seem to be any tests for the imghdr module, so I added a few simple tests. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: imghdr.patch keywords: patch messages: 139993 nosy: jfinkels priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: imghdr.what should take one argument type: feature request versions: Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file22608/imghdr.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12516> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
