For opened file as "r+", even if write() then readline(), readline() is executed first.

When add tell() after write(), it works correctly.

==========================================
data1 = "aa\nbb\ncc\n"
data2 = "xx\n"

with open("data.txt","w") as f:
    f.write(data1)

with open("data.txt","r+") as f:
    f.write(data2)
#   f.tell()
    print("Line:",repr(f.readline()))

with open("data.txt") as f:
    print("All:",repr(f.read()))
==========================================
OUTPUT:
Line: 'aa\n'
All: 'aa\nbb\ncc\nxx\n'

EXPECTED:
Line: 'bb\n'
All: 'xx\nbb\ncc\n'

The write is buffered.  If you want it to be written before you read, add `f.flush()` after the write; `f.tell()` causes an implicit flush.  See also the `buffering` argument to `open`.

It works correct for ver2.6, and also "rb+".
Buffering procsess should work the same as those case.
