New submission from Jacques Lemire <jaclem...@gmail.com>: see this web page: http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/stdtypes.html? highlight=read#file.read
The description should say: for Python 3.1 the method reads characters, for instance utf-8 characters. if the mode is 'rb', then it reads bytes (i.e. byte == 8 bits). Context: Linux Ubuntu 9.10, 64 bit, compiled locally. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 96767 nosy: georg.brandl, jlp severity: normal status: open title: Imprecise description for the fire.read() method type: behavior versions: Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7557> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
