[issue5863] bz2.BZ2File should accept other file-like objects.

[MizardX]

New submission from MizardX :

bz2.BZ2File should, like gzip.GzipFile, accept a fileobj argument.

If implemented, you could much more easily pipe BZ2-data from other 
sources, such as stdin or a socket.

[issue9529] Converge re.findall and re.finditer

[MizardX]

New submission from MizardX :

re.findall and re.finditer has very different signature. One iterates over 
match objects, the other returns a list of tuples.

I can think of two ways to make them more similar:

1) Make match objects iterable over their captures. With this, you could write 
something like the following:

for key,value in re.finditer(r'(\w+):(\w+)', text):
  data[key] = value

2) Make re.findall return an iterator over tuples. This would decrease the 
memory footprint.

[issue9529] Converge re.findall and re.finditer

[MizardX]

MizardX  added the comment:

I don't think (1) would break any code. finditer() would still generate 
match-objects.

The only time you would be discard the match-object, is if you try to do a 
destructuring bind in, e.g. a loop. This shouldn't be unexpected for the 
programmer.
