[Python-Dev] Why does read() return bytes instead of bytearray?

[Dan Eloff]

>No, the read() method did not change from the 2.x series. It returns a new object on each call.

I think you misunderstand me, but the readinto() method looks like a
perfectly reasonable solution, I didn't realize it existed, as it's
not in the library reference on file objects. Thanks for enlightening
me, I feel a little stupid now :)

Python 3, lookout, here I come!
