When you're working with variations of a file-like backups or different file types-it can get tedious typing out the same commands with small tweaks. ❋ Whitson Gordon (2011)
Finally, two utility functions are provided for when code expects to deal with file-like objects: ❋ Unknown (2010)
Classes for creating and wrapping file-like objects filelike is a Python library for creating and handling file-like objects. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The main class is FileLikeBase, which implements the entire file-like interface on top of primitive _read (), _write (), _seek () and _tell () methods. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The object in 'f' now behaves as a file-like object, transparently decrypting the file on-the-fly as it is read. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Serializing XML to a Stream tostring () actually writes to an in-memory file-like object and then returns a string representing the entire element tree. ❋ Doug Hellmann (2010)
The Three Upload & Download Methods ftptool provides three ways of uploading or downloading files: * to/from_str: using a str object, * to/from_file: using a filename, * and the default: using a file-like object. ❋ Unknown (2010)
This module takes care of the groundwork for implementing and manipulating objects that provide a rich file-like interface, including reading, writing, seeking and iteration. ❋ Unknown (2010)
