Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: This current line is "Read and return a list of lines from the stream. hint can be specified to control the number of lines read: no more lines will be read if the total size (in bytes/characters) of all lines so far exceeds hint."
I would like to see added "Since a file is a line iterator, file.readlines() == list(file). To save time and space, iterate over lines of a file with for line in file: process(line)." (with code markup for the two snippets). ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13510> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
