Christopher Welborn added the comment: Django: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/files/file/#django.core.files.File
It looks like Django has a File object that wraps around Python's built-in file object. It offers a 'mode' attribute, and a read(num_bytes=None) / write([content]) function. It also offers __iter__ functionality. You must open the file, and then wrap it with File() like: myfile = File(open('myfile.txt', 'r')) Twisted: http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.python.filepath.FilePath.html Looking at twisted.python.filepath.FilePath, it looks like there is no read/write. These are two very popular frameworks/libraries, but I'll see if I can't find other sources for inspiration. I think read_bytes/read_text would offer a good alternative method for reading files, instead of trying to create a full-on replacement like the previous patches attempt to do. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
