Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: David Schnepper (dschnepper) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: gzip.GzipFile.flush() does not flush all internal buffers Initial Comment: flush() is expected to output all pending data stored in internal buffers. gzip.GzipFile.flush() does perform a flush on its fileobj, but does not flush the state of its compressobj prior to the IO flush. This results in being able to use gzip.GzipFile to zip output to a socket and having the other side unzip it in sync with originators flush calls. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Alan McIntyre (ESRG) (alanmcintyre) Date: 2005-02-26 23:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1115903 This patch appears to fix the bug as described, and running the regression tests on Python 2.5a0 (CVS HEAD) plus this patch turns up no problems. Since the documentation says that a GzipFile "simulates most of the methods of a file object," I would expect GzipFile.flush() to act in the way that David described in the first paragraph of the bug report, and his patch seems to provide that as far as I can tell. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1110242&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
