Robert Collins added the comment: Its more than just a docs issue - "AFAICT it isn't possible to tell if closefd is set after the object is created."
The presence of the parameter in the signature is there, but it isn't documented *where the bulk of the FileIO parameters are* - there are docs for mode for instance. Why would we force users to follow breadcrumbs for one parameter but not other ones? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17401> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
