  ...text of the proposal: At the request of some supporters of other languages, I've withdrawn a language comparison chart that contained highly personal and sometimes unfounded opinions of other languages. The table was being used out of context in a way that some found objectionable.

• Python 2.4.1 - Release Notes

This means that, for example, you can use f.tell() and f.seek() to manipulate files larger than 2 gigabytes (provided you have enough disk space, and are using a Windows filesystem that supports large partitions).

NTFS has no pr...
