New submission from Nikolaus Rath: It is currently not perfectly clear what Python (and the standard library) assumes about file-like objects (see e.g. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.devel/148199).
The attached doc patch tries to improve the current situation by stating explicitly that the description of IOBase et al specifies a *mandatory* interface for anything that claims to be file-like. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: iobase.diff keywords: patch messages: 220588 nosy: benjamin.peterson, docs@python, eric.araujo, ezio.melotti, georg.brandl, hynek, ncoghlan, nikratio, pitrou, stutzbach priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Clarify requirements for file-like objects type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file35636/iobase.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21763> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
