Xiang Zhang added the comment: Such a change in my mind is an enhancement and only could get into 3.7.
IMHO zlib.compress() and zlib.decompress() are for simple usage, zlib.compressobj() and zlib.decompressobj() for advanced usage if you want more controls. Actually I would prefer simplifying zlib.decompress() signature (dropping the wbits parameter) than adding more complex to zlib.compress(). Of course we can't do that to maintain backwards compatibility. :-) -1 on this change. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter, xiang.zhang versions: -Python 2.7, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30000> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
