Gregory P. Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: if i did
n = int(n) that would change the API to allow bytes/unicode to be passed in which is not something i want. i don't even like that it allows floats. by not doing the int conversion at all, a DeprecationWarning is raised by the read() about the argument being a float which I figure it not a bad thing given that the API really should only accept ints... fwiw, daniel's patch would still cause this deprecation warning from read so I guess using while len(bs) < int(n): isn't that bad either. but it would allow a string such as '0' to be passed in as an argument without an exception... _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3708> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
