A non-seekable read/write stream doesn't really make sense (think about it). What you may be thinking about, instead, is a pair of non-seekable streams, one readable and one writable. There is BufferedRWPair for that: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/io.html#io.BufferedRWPair (granted, BufferedRWPair isn't wired in open(), so you have to do all the wrapping yourself) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20074> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
