New submission from Gregory P. Smith g...@krypto.org:
The file object readline() and readlines() methods can lose data when an
underlying read system call is interrupted. They will abort with an IOError in
this case but any incomplete line data they have read will be discarded.
readline()
Gregory P. Smith g...@krypto.org added the comment:
3.x has the same issue. unittest patch forthcoming that addresses that as
well.
2.6 also has the issue but it is in security fix only mode so I won't backport
to that.
