Yes. For "append", the reason is simple. The use case for appending is really repeated appending (e.g. writing to a log file), so providing a convenience for one-shot appending doesn't make sense. For "exclusive", it's not used often enough to warrant such a shortcut. I don't want these APIs to become kitchen sink APIs. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20218> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
