The problem is that the chosen method to accomplish it would read 2 symbols (bytes) ahead and this guy is using peek() to grab these 2 bytes. The program will seem to work correctly most of the time, but on the 4095th byte read, he would grab 1 byte at most using peek()
That's exactly why I think the blocking version should keep reading until the requested number of bytes is available (or the buffer is full or EOF occurs). In other words, the blocking version should be fully deterministic given knowledge of the buffer size. -- 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
