New submission from Larry Hastings: While working on posixmodule.c today I noticed that some functions that accept file descriptors call PyObject_AsFileDescriptor(). This function accepts ints. It *also* accepts objects that expose a .fileno() attribute, calling that attribute and using the integer it returns.
There are *other* functions in posixmodule.c that accept file descriptors that call _fd_converter(), which just looks for an int with a proper value. I figure it should be one way or the other. Should everything in posix that accepts file descriptor ints accept the .fileno() convention too? ---------- messages: 209613 nosy: larry priority: low severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Should posix functions that accept fd also accept objects with .fileno()? type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20431> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
