Description : Adapt generators and other iterables to a file-like interface
iterable-io is a small Python library that provides an adapter so that
it's possible to read from iterable objects in the same way as
file-like objects.
It is primarily useful as "glue" between two incompatible
interfaces. As an example, in the case where one interface expects a
file-like object to call .read() on, and the other only provides a
generator of bytes.
One way to solve this issue would be to write all the bytes in the
generator to a temporary file, then provide that file instead, but if
the generator produces a large amount of data then this is both slow
to start, and resource-intensive.
This library allows streaming data between these two incompatible
interfaces so as data is requested by .read(), it's pulled from the
iterable. This keeps resource usage low and removes the startup delay.
