I was talking about the existing support for non-blocking IO in the FileIO class
(look up EAGAIN in fileio.c), as well as in the Buffered* objects.

It's certainly too late to modify the IO API only for naming purposes.

I don't see what you mean:
>>> with open('foobar', 'wb') as f:
... f.truncate(0)
...
0
>>> os.stat('foobar').st_size
0
>>> with open('foobar', 'wb') as f:
... f.truncate(16)
... f.tell()
...
16
16
>>> os.stat('foobar').st_size
16

Ok, but the distinction is certainly fuzzy in many cases. I have no problem with
trying to change the corner cases you mention, though.
