I had StopIteration in mind. Instead of writing:
while 1:
block = f.read(20)
if line == '':
break
. . .
We would use:
for block in f.readblocks(20):
. . .
More beauty, a little faster, more concise, and less error-prone. Of
course, there are likely better choices for the method name, but you get
the gist of it.
