Actually, I'm not sure what is wrong with the current doc: read(n=-1)¶ Read and return up to n bytes from the stream. As a convenience, if n is unspecified or -1, readall() is called. Otherwise, only one system call is ever made. An empty bytes object is returned on EOF; None is returned if the object is set not to block and has no data to read.
