IIUC, a read of the full requested size would achieve exactly that: on a non-blocking stream (IIUC), a read will always return min(bytes_available, bytes_requested). > Hmm, what do you mean by "if the stream is unbuffered"?

IIUC, io.open will always return a BufferedReader, potentially with buffer_size=0 for unbuffered IO. This case must be supported. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2523> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
