R. David Murray added the comment: If you are reading in binary mode, then all readline does is get you the next \n terminated chunk of data, which is a convenience in some circumstances. You have to do all the newline handling yourself. Otherwise it isn't a binary read.
I think the "right way" to do what you want is to write a custom subclass of one of the IO classes. Should such a subclass be added to Python? That's an interesting question. A first step toward an answer might be to post it as a recipe on the ActiveState site and see how many people find it useful. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray type: behavior -> enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17083> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
