Rich Rauenzahn added the comment: Given that write() accepts a fileobject, but read() accepts a list of strings or a string (and readfp() is the one that accepts a fileobject instead), this seems like it could be a common enough error that just iterating over the fileobject could be undesirable and an exception might be thrown instead.
I'm throwing this out here to see if the library maintainers were aware of this odd edge case. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27351> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
