Category: Documentation Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Reinhold Birkenfeld (birkenfeld) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Docs for file() vs open() Initial Comment: This is in reference to the thread on python-dev starting 2004/07/07, subject "file() or open()?". Guido stated there that one should use open() to open files: """Anyway, here's my future-proof distinction: use open() as the factory function, and file for type-testing.""" The docs, however, still convince the reader that open() is retained for backwards compatibility and near deprecation. This patch corrects the issue, mostly using Guido's own new wording. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1094011&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
