Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: I seem to recall one of the design principles of the new IO stack was to avoid relying on the C stdlib's buffered API, which has too many platform-dependant behaviours.
In any case, binary reading has acceptable performance in py3k (although 3x-4x slower than in 2.x), it's text I/O which is truely horrendous. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4561> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
