Rich Rauenzahn added the comment: Thank you, lukasz. That's the answer I anticipated -- I can appreciate the backwards compatibility aspect very much.
Regarding the docs, the docs say: "Attempt to read and parse a list of filenames, returning a list of filenames which were successfully parsed." I don't know if the convention in the docs is that list always means *list*, but it could be changed to be iterable since that is the implementation. That fileobjects are also iterables could be pointed out here, but I think anyone making this mistake isn't going to make the mistake from misreading the docs, it's from skipping the docs and assuming read() is consistent with write(). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27351> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
