I think your "synced" flag is too vague. Some applications may need the file to be synced on close(), but some others may need it to be synced at regular intervals, or after each write(), etc. Calling the flag "sync_on_close" would be much more explicit. Also, given the current API I think it should be an argument to open() rather than a writable attribute. _______________________________________________ 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
