Category: Library (Lib) Group: Python 3000 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Christian Heimes (tiran) Assigned to: Guido van Rossum (gvanrossum) Summary: Remove cStringIO usage Initial Comment: The patch removes the import of cStringIO from all Python files and disabled the cStringIO module. It leaves the file around. Open problems: * How should io.StringIO handle buffer objects? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Guido van Rossum (gvanrossum) Date: 2007-08-08 21:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=6380 Originator: NO Thanks! Committed revision 56841. I had to change some places to use BytesIO instead of StringIO, and I had to work hard on a few modules, esp. uu.py. But now all tests pass (except the ones that didn't pass before). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Guido van Rossum (gvanrossum) Date: 2007-08-08 16:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=6380 Originator: NO I'll take this. Thanks for the work! There are a few tests that break due to this, I'll look into these. I'll probably kill StringIO and cStringIO hard rather than adding deprecations (there's already a 2to3 fixer that fixes most StringIO references). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Christian Heimes (tiran) Date: 2007-08-08 09:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=560817 Originator: YES The new patch also removes StringIO and adds a facade cStringIO. Importing StringIO and cStringIO is deprecated and the imports fall back to io.StringIO. File Added: remove_stringio.patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2007-08-08 09:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 Originator: NO I guess that if you want to handle buffer objects, you should be using io.BytesIO. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Christian Heimes (tiran) Date: 2007-08-08 08:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=560817 Originator: YES File Added: stringio_deprecation.patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1770008&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list Patches@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
