Guido van Rossum added the comment: Folks, please focus on one issue at a time, and don't post such long transcripts.
I know Py3k text I/O is very slow; it's written in Python and uses UTF-8 as the default encoding. We've got a summer of code student working on an accelerating this. (And if he doesn't finish we have another year to work on it before 3.0final is released.) So the real problem is that on Windows in 2.x reading files > 4 GB loses data. Please try to see if opening the file in binary mode still loses data. I suspect a problem in the Windows C stdio library related to line endings, but who knows. ---------- components: -Interpreter Core versions: -Python 3.0 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1142> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
