Martin v. Löwis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: The patch looks fine (as far as it goes).
I do think the same should be done to the reader: IO libraries typically provide a promise that concurrent threads can read, and will get the complete stream in an overlapped manner (i.e. each input byte goes to exactly one thread - no input byte gets lost, and no input byte is delivered to multiple threads). I don't think this is currently the case: two threads reading simultaneously may very well read the same bytes twice, and then, subsequently, skip bytes (i.e. when both increment _read_pos, but both see the original value of pos) _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3476> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
