- Extensions to Python’s io module¶
Extensions to Python’s io
module.
You may use it as drop-in replacement of io
. Although we don’t document
all items here. Refer to io
documentation.
In Python 2, buil-int open()
is different from io.open()
; in
Python 3 are the same function.
So, generated files with the built-in funtion in Python 2, can not be processed using abc types, for example:
f = open('test.rst')
assert isinstance(f, io.IOBase)
will fail in Python 2 and not in Python 3.
Another incompatibilities:
- file type doesn’t exists in Python 3.
- Python 2 instances created with io.StringIO:class`, or with
io.open()
using text mode, don’t accept str values, so it will be better to use any of the standards classes (StringIO.StringIO
,cStringIO.StringIO
oropen()
built-in).
New in version 1.7.0.
