All of the compression modules (gzip, lzma) have this behavior, not just bz2; it's consistent in that sense. Changing it now, after literally decades with the old behavior, would needlessly break existing programs. As you say, it's documented clearly, I'm not seeing a gain to be had strong enough to violate the existing documentation. ---------- nosy: +josh.r _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43297> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
