What am I missing? _file=file class file(_file): ... def flush(self, wait=0): super().flush(self) if wait < 0.25: return if wait < 0.5 and os.fdatasync: os.fdatasync(self.fileno()) return os.fsync(self.fileno()) if wait < 0.75: return if os.ffullsync: os.ffullsync(self.fileno()) (To be honest, I'm not even seeing why it couldn't be done in Objects/fileobject.c, though I realize extension modules would need to go through the python interface to take advantage of it.) -jJ _______________________________________________ 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
