If I put 100 lines of text in a file with each line having 50
characters, and I run this code:
import sys
lst = []
for line in open("aaa.txt"):
print "an iteration"
lst.append(line)
break
print lst
The output is:
$ python test1.py
an iteration
['helleo haljdfladj ahdflasdjf ds hdljfalsdjfdsljfds \n']
It seems clear to me that the whole file wasn't first read into a
buffer before the code started processing the data.
