Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amaur...@gmail.com> added the comment: Fortunately, the lower-level write() has no such bug, at least when used in binary mode as FileIO does: it's almost a direct call to WriteFile(). This issue is more considered because it's not a bug in the Microsoft CRT, but in the Python implementation of the IO stack.
About the issue, I'd suggest to just clamp the length to 2**32-1, and don't bother retrying; leave this to the buffered layer. ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9611> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
