Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: Actually, I'm not sure it's a good idea. For example, calling os.ftruncate(fobj) on a py3k file object will bypass the object's internal buffering, ignoring any pending buffered data; the right thing to do is to call fobj.truncate() instead.
It may be better to simply mention in the docs that fileno() can be used on file-like objects to get a file descriptor, if needed. ---------- nosy: +loewis _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2768> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
