New submission from Maxime S:
Observed Behavior:
$python3
Python 3.5.0a1+ (default, Mar 2 2015, 14:30:05)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> f = open("test", "w+")
>>> f.write("Hello World")
11
>>> f.seek(0)
0
>>> f.read(5)
'Hello'
>>> f.write(" people")
7
>>> f.seek(0)
0
>>> f.read()
'Hello World people'
Expected Behavior
According to POSIX, the last f.read() should return "Hello people", like in
Python 2:
$ python2
Python 2.7.3 (default, Feb 27 2014, 20:00:17)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> f = open("test", "w+")
>>> f.write("Hello World")
>>> f.seek(0)
>>> f.read(5)
'Hello'
>>> f.write(" people")
>>> f.seek(0)
>>> f.read()
'Hello people'
Workaround:
f.seek(f.tell()) immediately after f.read(5) restore the correct behavior.
