The 1 MiB limit was added for Issue 1296004; apparently some platforms were overallocating multiple buffers and running out of memory. I suspect the loop in "_safe_read" was inherited from Python 2, which has different kinds of file objects. The comments suggest it does partial reads. But the Python 3 code calls "socket.makefile" with "buffering" mode enabled by default. I agree it should be safe to read the total length in one go. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36050> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
