Doesn't the exception count as warning the user? We probably don't want to change readline to return a partial line in this case. An exception could be added for EGAIN that includes the partial line. Another option would be to just document the behavior for readline or fcntl. What is the right behavior for a non-blocking readline? Obviously, it can't return a None and buffer the line. Another option would be to define readline as a blocking operation and enable buffering before starting the readline, and possibly revert it when done. Opinions?
