Changing the value of mode also changes its repr. This seems like a bug to me. It's probably too late to change TextIOWrapper.__repr__(). I think this needs to be discussed on python-dev first. >>> f = open("README.rst") >>> f <_io.TextIOWrapper name='README.rst' mode='r' encoding='UTF-8'> >>> f.writable() False >>> f.mode = "w" >>> f.writable() False >>> f <_io.TextIOWrapper name='README.rst' mode='w' encoding='UTF-8'> There's an commented-out code in the initial checkin: https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/4fa88fa0ba35e25ad9be66ebbdaba9aca553dc8b#diff-b67be9e0a41447de808ba3b7099a44a8R2341 /* {"mode", (getter)TextIOWrapper_mode_get, NULL, NULL}, */ TextIOWrapper.__repr__() was updated to include 'mode' in https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/a4815caa7ccf21aa994d0e0eec66873072f0e352 See issue 36271 for a related report. The OP was confused because we don't set mode manually in gzip.open() and bz2.open() (as opposed to what we do in io.open() and tokenize.open()) ---------- nosy: +berker.peksag, pitrou stage: -> test needed versions: +Python 3.9 -Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32655> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
