Skip Montanaro <s...@pobox.com> added the comment: A couple wording comments:
"All streams are careful about the type of data you give to them" would read better as "All streams accept specific types of data". "The default mode is ``'r'`` (open for reading text, synonym of ``'rt'``)". I liked the original wording better. Finally, not specific to this change, but I wonder if rather than having distinct io.StringIO and io.BytesIO classes it would be better to have a single io.MemoryIO class which takes mode arguments just like io.FileIO? The correspondence between file-based and memory- based i/o would be more one-to-one. Such a class could be added without breaking existing code by using the StringIO and BytesIO classes as the back-end for a MemoryIO class. ---------- nosy: +skip.montanaro _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9715> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
