Incremental encoders don't have any buffer. Python 3.3a0 (default:3c7792ec4547+, May 26 2011, 00:24:51) >>> import codecs >>> enc=codecs.lookup('hz').incrementalencoder() >>> enc.encode('\u8000') b'~{R+' >>> enc.reset() >>> enc.encode('\u8000') b'~{R+' >>> enc.encode('', final=True) b'~}' >>> import io >>> buffer=io.BytesIO() >>> enc=codecs.lookup('hz').streamwriter(buffer) >>> enc.write('\u8000') >>> buffer.getvalue() b'~{R+' >>> enc.reset() >>> buffer.getvalue() b'~{R+~}' IncrementalEncoder.reset() may mention that the output is discarded: .. method:: reset() Reset the encoder to the initial state. The output is discarded: use the ``encode('', final=True)`` method to reset the encoder and to get the output. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12171> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
