[Python-3000] StringIO/BytesIO in io.py doesn't over-seek properly (original) (raw)

If StringIO is not allowed to over-seek, what should happen to the current file position when it is truncated?

s = StringIO("Hello world!") s.seek(0, 2) s.truncate(2) s.tell() ???

Truncating can either set the position to the new string size, or it leaves it alone.
