I wonder what's causing the O(n^2) behavior. Is it the old file type or BSD's fopen() fault? > There seem to be slight differences though: > > Non-monkey patched: I can write to the file a non-Unicode string, > even when the file was opened non-Binary. > > With monkey patch: either open the file Binary-mode, or > write Unicode strings .. Python 3.x doesn't collate data and text but distinguishes between bytes (str type in Python 2.x) and unicode. You can't write unicode to a binary file and str to a text file. See it as an opportunity! You are taking the first step towards Python 3 compatibility. :) Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
