I've stumbled upon the following in Python 3: Python 3.0.1+ (r301:69556, Apr 15 2009, 15:59:22) [GCC 4.3.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.stdout.write("") 0 >>> sys.stdout.write("something") something9 >>>
write() is appending the length of the string to it's output. That's not how it worked in 2.6. What's the reason for this? Is this intended? I couldn't find a bug report for this. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
