You sound confused. The parameter for io.BytesIO.readline() limits the number of bytes read in that call. The StreamReader limit parameter also limits the number of bytes read, in all readline() calls. However, the effect is different -- if you exceed the limit in io.BytesIO.readline() you get an unterminated line; if you exceed the limit in StreamReader.readline(), the call raises an exception. > And since the StreamReader().readline() does not accept parameter, it > still cannot be used in other modules (like http.client.parse_headers()). Since StreamReader.readline() must be used with yield from, you can't use it in http.client.parse_headers() anyway. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20841> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
