(*) Which brings me to the questions I have in my mind for quite some time: Why is readinto undocumented, and what about the status of the buffer object: do the recent fixes to the buffer object change it's status?
I, for one, would be very unhappy if the byte buffer object were to go away. It's quite useful.
I didn't even realize readinto existed. It'd be great to add more of them. os.readinto for reading from fds and socket.socket.recvinto for reading from sockets. Is there any reason the writable buffer interface isn't exposed to python-land?
