I just hope everyone updates both versions when making changes to IO. This is somewhat of a non-problem for small modules like bisect, or heapq. For pickle and StringIO, we already saw how not to do it in 2.x -- hopefully the new _pickle and pickle modules stay compatible. IO is much larger a piece of code...

Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out. _______________________________________________ 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
