Poul-Henning Kamp added the comment: POLA = Principle Of Least Astonishment
We use that a lot in architectural decision in FreeBSD :-) As I said: You deal with this as you see fit. If all python2 gets is a doc- or errata-notice, that's perfectly fine with me. I interpret "The writev() function shall be equivalent to write(), except as described below." as writev() giving the same atomic append guarantee. In FreeBSD, write() is implemented using writev() and I expect that is the obvious and thus common way it is done. (You seem to be right with respect to the 1024: That is indeed still the BUFSIZ on FreeBSD, I'll work on getting that changed.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15723> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
