R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

So the real question is: does readlines block until the byte count is 
satisified?  It might, but the docs for io.IOBase.readlines leave open the 
possibility that fewer lines will be read, and do not limit that to the EOF 
case.  It's not clear, however, if that is because the non-EOF-short-read case 
is specifically being allowed for, or if the documenter just didn't consider 
that case.
