codecs.open and buffering modes...

S

Sam

codecs.open defaults to line buffering. But open defaults to using
the system buffer size. Why the discrepancy? Is it different for a
reason?

How do these choices affect performance? (Particularly under Linux).

Thanks

Hmmm...no one knows the reason for the discrepancy? Should I post on
the developers' list to see if anyone knows?

Thanks
