'man 2 read' states: === The system guaran- tees to read the number of bytes requested if the descriptor references a normal file that has that many bytes left before the end-of-file, but in no other case. === Since a pipe is not a "normal file", the guarantee to "read the number of bytes requested" does not apply. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
