Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: Well I'm not the bz2 maintainer but I could take a look. The BZ2File implementation is generally a straight ripoff of the 2.x file object, with (de)compression calls added where necessary. I guess the ripoff was a one-shot effort and subsequent maintenance wasn't done.
It makes it quite a bit alien in the 3.x IO landscape, but until someone decides to rewrite it we'll have to live with that. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8397> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
