Python already has plenty of mechanisms for enabling configuration choices, so I don't see your point: the use case is /already/ supported assuming there is a sync() method at all. The discussion is (or should be) about whether/how Python should expose a sync() facility in its file input/output stack (or somewhere else in the stdlib). Configuration policies are not for us to decide. _______________________________________________ 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
