Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Yes, accumulating the data will be backward-compatible.
But what if add a special flag for zlib.decompress, which makes bz2 and lzma compatible decoder? I.e.: 1) unconsumed_tail is always empty (the unconsumed data accumulated in internal buffer, no need manually add it to next chunk of data). Or even non-existent. 2) EOFError raised if decompress() is called after end-of-stream is reached. Of course, it is a new feature. ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16350> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
