It is. If you don't mention a mode, the mode is "r" by default. But if you mention a mode, then you are required to specify one of "r", "w", "a". > io.BufferedReader does not implement read1 (the last lines of trace > below) It does. You made a mistake in your experiment (you called read1() on a FileIO object, not a BufferedReader object). > io.FileIO does not implements single OS system call on read() - instead > reads a file until EOF i.e. ignores the arguments supplied to read() Your experiments show otherwise, the argument supplied to read() is observed: if you call read(1024), at most 1024 bytes are returned, etc. It's only if you call read() without an argument that the file is being read until EOF. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17440> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
