Bug report

I believe tell should never be negative, even for /dev/urandom. And @benjaminp wrote ToDo that it shouldn't be negative.

>>> from pathlib import Path >>> urandom = Path('/dev/urandom').open('rb') >>> urandom.tell() 0 >>> urandom.read(1) b'$' >>> urandom.tell() -4095 

Environment

Fedora linux, python 3.10.6
