2016-10-21 5:17 GMT+02:00 Martin Panter <report@bugs.python.org>: > The idea of changing the signature is to avoid people thinking it accepts a keyword argument. See e.g. Issue 25030 for seek(offset, whence=SEEK_SET), Issue 14586 for truncate(size=None). Ah. Maybe we should modify the code to accept a keyword argument? :-) Or we might use the strange "read1(\, size=1)" syntax of Argument Clinic.
