Do you mean from a namespace point of vue, or from a performance point of view? Because this size is used to read/write from underlying the file object, so using the io default would make sense, no? Sure, it might not be optimal for compressed files, but I gues that the optimal value is function of the compression-level block size and many other factors which are just too varied to come up with a reasonable heuristic. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20962> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
