1. Path.stat() wraps only one function, while Path.read() wraps two functions. It's signature should be a sum of open() and read() signatures: Path.read(encoding, errors, newline, size) (I have omitted some open's parameters). This is a little cumbersome. 2. os.stat() requires `import os`, while open() is builtin. 3. If add Path.read(), what about Path.readlines() and Path.readline()? 4. I believe Path.stat() will be used much more often than Path.read(). 5. Path.stat() corresponds to low-level os.stat(), but for low-level os.read() the high-level corresponding is FileIO.read(). And this corresponding is much more universal and useful. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20218> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
