On amazon (centos) Linux, 'man 2 read' makes the same claim, albeit in different verbiage: === It is not an error if this number is smaller than the number of bytes requested; this may happen for example because fewer bytes are actually available right now (maybe because we were close to end-of-file, or because we are reading from a pipe, or from a terminal), or because read() was interrupted by a signal. === ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15918> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
