Thomas Kluyver added the comment: Sorry for the delay, this fell off my radar because emails from both the bug tracker and Rietveld tend to fall foul of my spam filters, so I have to go and check.
I have implemented Serhiy's suggestions, but there turns out to be a test (test_write_after_read) that calls writestr while a reading handle is open, and it now fails. This is absolutely expected according to the design we discussed, but if there's a test, I guess that means we need to keep that functionality working? In principle, the only thing that's not possible is interleaving writes to multiple files within the zip - because we don't know where to start writing the second file. We should be able to have one writer and n readers going at once, but every time I start looking into that I get mired in complexity. Maybe (hopefully) there's some critical abstraction that hasn't occurred to me. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file42375/zipfile-open-w5.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26039> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
