Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: Ok, let me qualify my position a bit: - -1 for abusing the newline parameter - -1 for abusing readlines() - +0 on an additional method ("readchunks" was suggested) which does the splitting, either on a single character or on a string
Please bear in mind the latter should involve, for each of the C and Python implementations: - a generic unoptimized version for BufferedIOBase - a generic unoptimized version for TextIOBase - an optimized version for BufferedReader/BufferedRandom - an optimized version for TextIOWrapper However, it is certainly an interesting task for someone wanting to play with C code, optimizations, etc. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1152248> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
