Christopher Welborn added the comment: Ram Rachum: If I actually had a say in the matter, I wouldn't be totally against it. (so far I only lurk the lists/tracker looking for things to work on.) I was just offering you a solution that you can use _today_.
I do think that if something like this was added, then you would have to go ahead and add the other read/write functions because the next question would be 'how come pathlib has no readlines()?'. Also, it would definitely need more than 'mode' or 'binary' for args. The encoding option needs to be taken into account. People need to have a choice in what encoding to use even with a little read()/write(). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20218> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
