Hi Steve,
thanks for your reply.
Actually I played around with these methods. Whe you truncate(12468) for example, I thought the object would allocate 12468 bytes and I wanted to get that back. The methods your mention, works only for what ha been written (obj.write()).
I think I should use io.BufferedWriter instead.
Just one question, what has better performance: BufferedWriter or BytesIO?
Thanks and regards,
Fabian
