Functions in the IO lib.

It's wrong, because floats would be accepted as argument to the seek() method. Hence the need for (at least) PyNumber_AsOff_t. (of course the IO lib can have its own private implementation of PyNumber_AsOff_t. But then why not make it benefit everyone?) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
