I've created a topic on this inside the "Ideas" area of discuss.python.org.
Sorry if that wasn't appropriate, not sure if I should have keep the discussion
here.
Inada Naoki suggests creating a new method str.iterlines{[keepends]). Given
that people are -1 on changing str.splitlines, I think that's a good solution.
A new method is better yet if it would only split on '\n', that way
fp.read().iterlines() matches fp.readlines(). It is what people seem to expect
and is the most handy behaviour. So, str and bytes would both get the new
method and they would both split on only '\n'.
If we do that, I think nearly every use of splitlines() should get changed to
iterlines().
