New submission from Awal Garg <awalg...@gmail.com>:
I propose the addition of the following methods to asyncio.StreamReader: > coroutine peek(n=-1) > Same as read, but does not remove the returned data from the internal buffer. > > coroutine peekexactly(n) > Same as readexactly, but does not remove the returned data from the internal > buffer. My use case is to multiplex a few protocols over a single TCP socket, for which I need to non-destructively read a few bytes from the socket to decide which parser to hand the stream over to. Thoughts? ---------- components: asyncio messages: 388895 nosy: asvetlov, awalgarg, yselivanov priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Addition of peek and peekexactly methods to asyncio.StreamReader type: enhancement versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43524> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
