Summary
This PR builds on top of #15158 and introduces an optional
use_seeking
keyword argument to qpy.dump. Fixes #15157Details and comments
This provides explicit user control over whether QPY uses the in-place seek table or the buffered write path.
use_seeking=None
-> automatic detection (based onseekable()
andKNOWN_BAD_SEEKERS
).use_seeking=True
-> force the in-place seek path.use_seeking=False
-> force the buffered path.This gives users full control in environments with custom stream wrappers.
This PR should target Qiskit 2.3, while #15158 remains the bug-fix-only change backported to 2.2.2.
