No. sys.stdin can be reassigned before using FileInput. And FileInput has openhook parameter (for read compressed files or get files from Web, for example). > so the readlines function should always return at least as many bytes as its > first parameter. Is this assumption wrong? qwert 'qwert\n' You type five characters "qwert" end press <Enter>. Python immediately receives these six characters, and returns a result of sys.stdin.readline(1000). Only six characters, and no one symbol more, because more characters you have not entered yet. I believe that for such questions will be more appropriate to use a mailing list (python-l...@python.org, or newsgroup gmane.comp.python.general on news://news.gmane.org), and not bugtracker. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15068> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
