No. I am still rather frustrated that was the problem. The only reason I feel safe with this solution is that the file pointer is not directly used except by _fileio to get the file descriptor. I would not trust this if the file pointer and file descriptor had intertwined uses. But I would trust rewind() if the file pointer is used the entire time. > Thx for finding the bug :) Great work! Thanks. I just wish this whole ordeal had not been necessary (filed a bug report with Apple in hopes that this can be prevented for someone else). I can see why some people prefer to hack on PyPy, IronPython, or Jython instead of dealing with the joys of C. =) __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1267> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
