R. David Murray added the comment: I don't think that's true, though. "file like" pretty much means "has the file attributes that I actually use". That is, it is context dependent (duck typing).
I'm also not sure I see the point in the change. It is inherent in the definition of what ABCs are. I think the language should be audited for imperative/prescriptive voice, though: Flush and close this stream. If called again, do nothing. Once the file is closed, any operation on the file (e.g. reading or writing) should raise a ValueError. My use of 'should' there might be controversial, though, since in the default implementation 'will' is correct. If 'will' is kept, then perhaps some variation of your note would be appropriate. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21763> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
