You are certainly right, but the code io.py is already difficult to understand and maintain; the corresponding C code adds one level of complexity; had I changed the buffering strategy at the same time, it would have been impossible to ensure a correct implementation. Now that my C implementation of the Buffered classes seems correct (all tests pass, except a few about destructors) we could try alternative approaches. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4565> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
