Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: -1 on this idea. readlines() exists precisely because line endings are special when it comes to text IO (because of the various platform differences).
If you want to split on any character, you can just use read() followed by split(). No need to graft additional complexity on the file IO classes. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1152248> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
