[issue12646] zlib.Decompress.decompress/flush do not raise any exceptions when given truncated input streams

[Oleg Oshmyan]

Oleg Oshmyan <chortos at inbox.lv> added the comment:

I like the new patch, but shouldn’t the default be to behave the same way zlib.decompress() behaves, i. e. raise? (Or perhaps zlib.decompress() should be modified not to raise instead. I’m just aiming at consistency.) Of course this will break code that relies on the old behaviour but the fix (adding strict=False) is trivial.
