In Py3k, the I/O APIs will be redesigned, especially the binary ones. My current idea is to have read() on a binary file return a bytes object. If readinto() continues to be necessary, please make sure the Py3k list (python-3000@python.org) knows about your use case. We aren't quite writing up the I/O APIs in PEP-form, but when we do, that would be the right time to speak up. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
