Martin Panter added the comment: I can’t say I’ve often wanted this kind of method for socket objects. I guess this would treat a zero-length message (e.g. UDP datagram) as end-of-stream. Maybe it would be more useful as a general function or method for RawIOBase (maybe also BufferedIOBase) streams.
As for the exception, I have used the existing EOFError in the past for similar purposes. After all, an unexpected EOF error at a low level often means an incomplete or truncated data error at a higher level. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1103213> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
