New submission from Dobatymo <the-real-hazz...@outlook.com>:
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bzip2 the reference implementation of bzip2 writes an end-of-stream marker (also called stream footer) with a magic number and a stream checksum to the file. Python does not do so. The files can still be read by all bzip2 compatible software I tried. For completeness and better error detection however, writing this marker (optionally maybe) would be useful. ---------- messages: 343143 nosy: Dobatymo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: bz2 module doesn't write end-of-stream marker type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37005> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
