The "very limited benefits" of being able to write I/O code without roughly 3 times code bloat? Perhaps for people who don't write code that does non-trivial I/O, but for the rest of us the benefits are pretty significant. > I suspect, but have not verified, that having a bytes version of this code > would now require an implementation that shared very little with the str > version. The implementation may be difficult, therefore no one should attempt it? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3982> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
