Turns out that urllib2's readline has a buffer which you can work
around by creating a custom readline that uses read(1)

Example:

def readline():
  buffer = ''
  while True
    char = conn.read(1)
    if '\n' == char:
      return buffer
    else:
      buffer += char

Hope this helps out anyone else using python.
