# eric6.Utilities.compatibility_fixes

Module implementing the open behavior of Python3 for use with Eric6.

The Eric6 used features are emulated only. The not emulated features should throw a NotImplementedError exception.

### Global Attributes

### Functions

open | Replacement for the build in open function.

## File

### Derived from

file

### Class Attributes

fp

### Class Methods

None

### Methods

File | Constructor
next | Public method used in an iterator.
read | Public method to read n bytes or all if n=-1 from file.
readline | Public method to read one line from file.
readlines | Public method to read all lines from file.
write | Public method to write given data to file and encode if needed.

### Static Methods

None

#### File (Constructor)

File(filein, mode='r', buffering=-1, encoding=None, errors=None, newline=None, closefd=True)

Constructor

It checks for unimplemented parameters.

filein
  filename or file descriptor (string)
mode=
  access mode (string)
buffering=
  size of the read buffer (string)
encoding=
  character encoding for reading/ writing (string)
errors=
  behavior for the character encoding ('strict', 'explicit', ...) (string)
newline=
  controls how universal newlines works (string)
closefd=
  close underlying file descriptor if given as file parameter (boolean)

Raises NotImplementedError:
  for not implemented method parameters

#### File.next

next()

Public method used in an iterator.

Returns:
  decoded data read

#### File.read

read(n=-1)

Public method to read n bytes or all if n=-1 from file.

n=
  bytecount or all if n=-1 (int)

Returns:
  decoded bytes read

#### File.readline

readline(limit=-1)

Public method to read one line from file.

limit=
  maximum bytes to read or all if limit=-1 (int)

Returns:
  decoded line read

#### File.readlines

readlines(hint=-1)

Public method to read all lines from file.

hint=
  maximum bytes to read or all if hint=-1 (int)

Returns:
  decoded lines read

#### File.write

write(txt)

Public method to write given data to file and encode if needed.

txt
  data to write. (str, bytes)

## open

open(file, mode='r', buffering=-1, encoding=None, errors=None, newline=None, closefd=True)

buffering=
  size of the read buffer (string)
encoding=
  character encoding for reading/ writing (string)
errors=
  behavior for the character encoding ('strict', 'explicit', ...) (string)
newline=
