[Python-Dev] Fuzziness in io module specs - PEP update proposition V2 (original) (raw)

Hello,

So here is the proposed semantic, which matches established conventions:

IOBase.truncate(n: int = None) -> int [...]

I still don't think there is a sufficient benefit in breaking compatibility. If you want the file pointer to remain the same, you can save it first and restore it afterwards manually.

Propositions of doc update

Please open tracker issues for these kinds of suggestions.

Regards

Antoine.
