If you rewrite the above sentence using the word "statistically", then I can agree :) But if I look at e.g. the fwrite() manpage, I see no guarantee that the stdio layer will never make a call to write() with a size smaller than the buffer size. The buffered layer should be free to manage its buffer in what it believes is the most efficient way. The only guarantee is that it won't buffer more than max_buffer_size. Anyway :) Practically, the test does work on both py3k and another implementation, so I don't see any urgency to remove anything from it. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4263> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
