I don't think so, since what you do with it isn't called "buffering". That verb exists but has a different meaning -- it applies to the things you put into the buffer, while here we're talking about the buffer. In fact, buffer isn't really a great name for it -- an opaque container of bytes is more like it. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
