Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: One problem with the seek() approach is that some file-like objects have expensive seeks. One example is GzipFile, where seek(n) is O(n) (it first rewinds to the start of file, then reads n decompressed bytes). In the end, unpickling from a GzipFile becomes O(n**2).
I will try to use peek() instead. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3873> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
