[issue20501] fileinput module will read whole file into memory when using fileinput.hook_encoded
by R. David Murray 03 Feb '14

03 Feb '14

R. David Murray added the comment: This requires (1) a doc update to indicate the problem and (2) a way to tell fileinput to *not* use readlines to optimize by calling readlines(bufsize), since in the case of using codecs it can be a problem. Presumably buffer=None would be the logical way to spell this. I'm marking this as a doc bug, a separate issue should be opened for adding the fileinput buffer=None enhancement. (The codec module's comments indicate there's no practical way to implement sizehint.) ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation nosy: +docs@python, r.david.murray versions: +Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20501> _______________________________________

[issue20423] io.StringIO newline param has wrong default
by couplewavylines 02 Feb '14

02 Feb '14

New submission from couplewavylines: In io.StringIO, the newline argument's default is currently documented as "newline=None" in the section header. However, it's described this way: "The default is to do no newline translation." The behavior of io.StringIO is consistent with this description (NO newline translation). The header should actually read "newline=''". "newline=None" would mean there IS newline translation by default, which is not the case. Code sample attached as no_translation.py. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: no_translation.py messages: 209577 nosy: couplewavylines, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: io.StringIO newline param has wrong default type: behavior versions: Python 3.3, Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file33779/no_translation.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20423> _______________________________________
