fd.flush() seems to be the secret - worked as expected in all tests. If possible, I'd like to suggest that the documentation be updated to explicitly say that a buffered file object is returned unless the buffering parameter is set to 0 (zero). Setting buffering = None (default value) still returns a buffered object, which seems a little counter intuitive, but acceptable if the documentation makes it clear.

I thought that flush() would only affect the ability to read after the write, but actually the data was not sent until the flush() operation. I'll do some more testing.

fd = s.makefile('w', buffering = 0) -> ValueError exception fd = s.makefile('w') -> io.BufferedWriter, which does not send data. fd = s.makefile('wb') -> io.TextIOWrapper, which does not send data.
Have you tried fd.flush() after writing your data? _______________________________________________ stdlib-sig mailing list stdlib-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/stdlib-sig _______________________________________________ stdlib-sig mailing list stdlib-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/stdlib-sig
