_io._IOBase.readline doesn't seem to like _io.FileIO.read returning None, which occurs when it's unbuffered and nonblocking. (Modules/_io/fileio.c:745 in trunk). Can this be handled some other way?

>>> import os, io
>>> r, w = os.pipe2(os.O_NONBLOCK)
>>> f = io.open(r, 'rb', 0)
>>> f.readline()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OSError: read() should have returned a bytes object, not 'NoneType'

Yeah, that's an hairy issue.
See #13322 for the details.
