Georg Brandl <ge...@python.org> added the comment: The docs have a different wording, which I suggest copying to the docstring:
*buffering* is an optional integer used to set the buffering policy. By default full buffering is on. Pass 0 to switch buffering off (only allowed in binary mode), 1 to set line buffering, and an integer > 1 to indicate the size of the buffer. But now the question remains what the default is -- "full buffering" is only meaningful with a specified buffer size. The implementation seems to default to line buffering. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl -> pitrou _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7545> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
