Posting LZMAFile-etc.v5.patch with the following changes: * Merged with current code * Changed BZ2File(buffer_size=...) to a keyword-only parameter and restored previous unused “buffering” parameter. Also changed the LZMAFile parameter to keyword-only for consistency. * Dropped documenting how buffer_size affects the compressed data chunk size or the fast-forward chunk size for seeking * Dropped backslash from \* in function signatures * Documented and tested that buffer_size=0 is not valid for the LZMAFile etc classes * Clarified a few code comments There is still Nikolaus’s concern about setting the buffer size to zero and doing short reads, discussed on Rietveld. Apart from that, I think this patch addresses the rest of the comments. Let me know if I missed something!
