Martin Panter added the comment: The documentation was technically correct but too scanty. RawIOBase.read(-1) does defer to readall(), but with a proper size passed, it defers to readinto() instead. Here is a patch which hopefully clarifies this, and also explains which methods have a usable default implementation. Includes some tests for RawIOBase and BufferedIOBase which didn’t seem to be there already.
