This makes sense for working around the issue. Even in the blocking-read case, such as in subprocess.Popen, attempting to read a 1MB chunk of data in a single os.read call is unhelpful anyway - see http://bugs.python.org/issue15918. Also, the 1MB read forces os.read() to unnecessarily allocate a huge !MB buffer (even if only for a short lifetime) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15896> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
