The buffer is used for both reading and writing and you have to be careful when shifting it. Besides, the same change (or similar) should also be done in the Python implementation (in _pyio.py). If you come up with a patch, please add some tests and check the whole regression suite passes. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5811> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
