Do you actually do this with buffered streams? I find it's better to steer well clear of buffered I/O objects when doing non-blocking stuff, because they don't play well with other things like select(). Anyhow, I wouldn't be opposed to having a way of looking into the buffer, but it should be a separate API -- preferably with a better name than peek0(), which gives no clue at all about what it does differently from peek(). -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
