New submission from Eric V. Smith: A group of us (all added as nosy) spent part of the day working on issue 25008 (write an smtpd with asyncio).
We came across some code that contained a copy of StreamReader.readline, but it used b'\r\n' instead of b'\n' for a line ending character. In StreamReader.readline, '\n' is hard coded. I'd like to propose that the line ending be passed in to readline, with a default of b'\n', and that multi-byte line ending sequences be explicitly supported. Further, I'm hoping we can treat this as a bug and not a feature request, so that it can go in to 3.4 and 3.5. Adding a default parameter will be backward compatible. ---------- components: asyncio messages: 251732 nosy: akuchling, barry, eric.smith, gvanrossum, haypo, jason.coombs, r.david.murray, yselivanov priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Hard-coded line ending in asyncio.streams.StreamReader.readline type: behavior versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25252> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
