Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: Without looking at the code, it seems that
http://docs.python.org/release/3.1.5/library/io.html?highlight=io#io.TextIOWrapper gives the answer "If line_buffering is True, flush() is implied when a call to write contains a newline character." So, "line buffering" may have a meaning only for writing. I don't think there is a reasonable way to implement it for reading. ---------- nosy: +loewis _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15049> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
