Walter Dörwald added the comment: That analysis seems correct to me.
Stateless and stream codecs were the original implementation. 2006 I implemented incremental codecs: http://bugs.python.org/issue1436130 The intent was to have stateful codecs that can work with iterators and generators. When Guido began reimplementing the io machinery for Python 3 he used incremental codecs as the basis. ---------- nosy: +doerwalter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23232> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
