Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: I can't tell you why it was decided to behave like this. Perhaps it was felt that, since FileIO is low-level (lower than the file object in 2.x), it shouldn't have to remember and restore the old file position. That argument wouldn't apply to BufferedWriter, though.
I'm afraid I don't know anything about the padding differences myself. If you give us more precisions on the subject, we will be able to include them in the documentation. ---------- assignee: -> pitrou components: +Documentation nosy: +pitrou versions: -Python 3.0 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6939> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
