I was thinking along the lines of:
def peek(self, size=None, block=True)
I think this is fine too. :)
If 'block' is True then return 'size' bytes, unless the end of the
file/stream is reached; if 'block' is False then return up to 'size'
bytes, without blocking. The blocking form might impose a limit to how
much can be peeked (the maximum size of the buffer), or it might enlarge
the buffer as necessary.
I guess the limit wouldn't be a problem to someone that chose to block
further reads.
