[New-bugs-announce] [issue38265] Update os.pread to accept the length type as size_t

[Dong-hee Na]

New submission from Dong-hee Na <donghee.na92 at gmail.com>:

I've found this comments.
// TODO length should be size_t!  but Python doesn't support parsing size_t yet.
(https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/279f44678c8b84a183f9eeb85e0b086228154497/Modules/posixmodule.c#L8830)


I don't know when this comment was created.
But at this point, it seems to provide that functionality.
It can be simply solved through the clinic.

How about updating this argument to be size_t and remove the TODO comment?
