Chris Rebert <pyb...@rebertia.com> added the comment: @Bendersky:
Unlike open()'s other arguments, that one wouldn't be orthogonal though. It would be possible to write e.g.: f = open(fname, encoding="big5", errors="replace", ascii_only=True) which seems disturbing, IMO. It would be nicer to rule out such impossible combinations categorically. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13997> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
