Joey Geralnik <jgeral...@gmail.com> added the comment: But this is calling the readlines function, which continually reads from the file until more bytes have been read than the specified argument.
>From bz2.readlines: "size can be specified to control the number of lines read: no further lines will be read once the total size of the lines read so far equals or exceeds size." Do other file-like objects interpret this parameter differently? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15068> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
