have you tried looping over an endless null-byte stream?
on a random Linux server, this statement
>>> for line in open("/dev/zero"):
... print len(line)
...
terminates without printing anything after about three seconds, which is
a bit odd. in contrast,
>>> f = open("/dev/zero")
>>> len(f.readline())
raises a MemoryError exception after about 10 seconds. hmm. looks like
a bug in the file iterator, really...
