New submission from Chris Wesseling <chris.wessel...@xs4all.nl>:
json.tool is very cute and handy for making json readable. But rewriting a file in place requires tools like sponge (on POSIX) or a tmpfile, because $ python -m json.tool foo.json foo.json results in an empty foo.json. I propose soaking up the infile before opening the outfile for writing, to prevent that. Much like sort -o does, but without the explicit flag. The patch I have prepared changes no behaviours, other than preventing an empty file... (still I see this as an enhancement and not a bug fix) ---------- messages: 405182 nosy: CharString priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Make json.tool soak up input before opening output for writing type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45644> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
