Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: For c stdio files, intermixed reads and writes require a file positioning operation. This is a nuisance and source of program bugs. I do not see any such limitation documented for our io module. So for both reasons, it will be nice to not have the limitation in the code.
If I understand, the essence of the patch is to do the file positioning automatically internally when needed. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12215> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
