[Python-Dev] Removing METH_OLDARGS (original) (raw)

I forgot there is one case of METHOLDARGS: file.readinto(). I didn't want to change this because I don't know how to use it and there is no test for it.

If someone can give me a use-case, I can add a test and fix it.

from array import array a = array('c', 100*'x') f = open("/etc/passwd") f.readinto(a) 100 a array('c', 'root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash\nbin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/sbin/nologin\ndaemon:x:2:2:daemon:/sbin:/sbin/nol')
