Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 8 Submitted By: Bob Ippolito (etrepum) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: bz2.BZ2File doesn't handle modes correctly Initial Comment: I've noticed that if I specify a file mode of 'U' to bz2.BZ2File, it will erase my file. That's bad. Specifying 'rU' works as expected. Basically, it assumes that you want a writable file unless it sees an 'r' in the mode, or no mode is given. Ugh. I've attached a patch that fixes this on CVS HEAD, it looks like it should apply cleanly to 2.4 as well. This is a backport candidate if I've ever seen one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1194181&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
