Anyone else like this idea? > [ What exactly does the limit mean? bytes written? bytes currently stored? > bytes stored after exit?] IMHO, I would prefer that it limit disk consumption; a deleted or overwritten file would not count against the process, but even a temporary spike would need to be less than the cap. That said, I would consider any of the mentioned implementations an acceptable proxy; the point is just that I might want to let a program save data without letting it have my entire hard disk. -jJ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
