For file objects the read() function has the optional size argument to limit the data that will be read. I'm wondering why there isn't such an argument for readline(). Theoretically lines in a file could have million of characters and even much more. An optional limit could prevent that a high amount of data will be load into the memory. |

Well, it does: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/io.html#io.IOBase.readline “readline(limit=-1) Read and return one line from the stream. If limit is specified, at most limit bytes will be read.” |
