Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment:
Indeed, read1() is not documented as a standard method of either IOBase,
RawIOBase or BufferedIOBase. I suggest that it becomes a standard method
of IOBase, with a default implementation simply calling read(n).
It also means unbuffered stdio as it was recently committed doesn't work
for stdin:
$ ./python -u

>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdin.read(1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/antoine/py3k/__svn__/Lib/io.py", line 1739, in read
eof = not self._read_chunk()
File "/home/antoine/py3k/__svn__/Lib/io.py", line 1565, in _read_chunk
input_chunk = self.buffer.read1(self._CHUNK_SIZE)
AttributeError: 'FileIO' object has no attribute 'read1'

I had been misguided by the fact that the interpreter prompt did work,
but it doesn't seem to use sys.stdin...
