New submission from Christoph Anton Mitterer <cales...@scientia.org>:
Hey. It seems there is no way to determine the newline value (None, '', \n, \r, \r\n) of a given text stream. .newlines rather gives the newlines that have been encountered so far. Just like .encoding and .errors this would be quite useful for anything that gets a stream and operates on it, possibly needing to know which newlines it will see when reading from the stream. One example would be, after line = stream.readline(4096+n) one want's to know whether actually a full line of 4096 characters has been read. Putting aside newline="", for simplicity here, n already depends on whether newline was None, \n, \r or \r\n, as would any check like line.endswith(foo). Maybe some attribute, that indicates the most recently read newline in newline="" mode, would be helpful, too. Cheers, Chris. ---------- components: IO messages: 387767 nosy: calestyo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: export the set newline value on TextIOBase/TextIOWrapper type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43337> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
