2. say that across all platforms python supports given functionality on, said functionality needs to have functionally identical results given identical input. in this case, the flush+seek workaround needs to be utilized on all cpythons linked with msvscrt in a manner transparent to the user.
It seems like we can work around this more easily than that, considering that flush and seek are available from Twisted; the file object causing problems in the tests is being returned from the open() method of a FilePath object, if I understand it correctly. FilePath could include the workaround far in advance of Python deciding to.
Quite so. I definitely think this is a bug in Python though. Someone should open a ticket in the Python bug tracker. Cory?
cory, i'll be happy to see if i can dig up an msdn entry documenting this so you can include it in the bug report. ping me if you need me to do it. -p
