David Beazley <d...@dabeaz.com> added the comment: If I can find some time, I may took a look at this. I just noticed that similar problems arise trying to wrap TextIOWrapper around the file-like objects returned by urllib.request.urlopen as well.
In the big picture, some discussion of what it means to be "file-like" might be in order. If something is "file-like" and binary, should that always imply that I be able to wrap a TextIOWrapper object around it in order to encode/decode text? I would argue "yes", but I'd be curious to know what others think. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10791> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
