Are the thread semantics for file objecst documented anywhere? I don't see anything in the library manual, which is where I expected to find it. It looks like read and write are atomic by virtue of fread and fwrite being atomic.
Uncle Timmy will no doubt agree with me: the semantics don't matter. NEVER, NEVER access the same file object from multiple threads, unless you're using a lock. And even using a lock is stupid. -- Aahz (aahz@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "The joy of coding Python should be in seeing short, concise, readable classes that express a lot of action in a small amount of clear code -- not in reams of trivial code that bores the reader to death." --GvR
