Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment: This patch goes in the right direction, but has several problems IMO:
- it reads a complete chunk for just one more byte - the re-read should be disabled when lineends are not translated these two are minor annoyance and can be easily corrected, but: - there is no limit to the re-read; it can exhaust the memory if the source is a big file with many \r (like a Mac text file) - How does this behave if the underlying stream has not yet available data (a socket, a terminal, or an opened file): will the re-read block at the 129th byte until more data is available? If so, it is annoying for a simple call to read(1). I will try to write these test cases if you want. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1395> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
