New submission from random832 <random...@fastmail.us>:
Currently this fails with a (misleading in the case of SEEK_END) "Can't do nonzero cur-relative seeks" error, but there's no conceptual reason it shouldn't be possible. The offset should simply be taken as a character offset, without any pretense that the "file" represents bytes in some Unicode encoding. This is already done for SEEK_START and tell, and has not caused any problems. ---------- components: IO messages: 360158 nosy: random832 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Support (SEEK_END/SEEK_CUR) relative seeking in StringIO type: behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39365> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
