The python documentation says that the read() and write() methods on array objects have been deprecated since 1.5.1. I assume this is because their semantics are almost the exact opposite of read() and write() on a file-like object; array.read() reads data from a file into the array and array.write() writes data from the array to a file. This causes fatal confusion in code that checks for the existence of read() and write() to determine whether an object is file-like. Code such as httplib.
What is the timeline for removing these methods from array? It has been 11 years now. -jake
