Guido van Rossum added the comment:

Indeed, ptys and pipes behave very differently (that's why we have both -- they 
serve different purposes).

More relevant question: we should find a way to decide whether to either apply 
Antoine's patch or close this issue.

Finally, maybe array.fromfile() can be fixed to deal better with short reads 
(if that's a real issue)? (However *empty* reads should still instantly stop 
it. Otherwise you end up busy-waiting.)
