... I/O was completely rewritten for Python 3.0. Stdio is no longer used. At the moment I believe much of the io subsystem is still implemented in Python. Note these comments in io.py: # New I/O library conforming to PEP 3116. # This is a prototype; hopefully eventually some of this will be # reimplemented in C. It should get faster over time. It will get faster over a shorter period of time if people contribute patches. -- Skip Montanaro - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://smontanaro.dyndns.org/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
