True, but having it a Buffered method would allow it to optimize buffer usage and avoid some memory copies (the first read() call and the peek() call, for example). In any case, Guido was rather against this proposal, so I'm not sure there's much sense in keeping discussing it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12053> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
