rdmurray@hey:~/python/p32>cat bad.py
This line is just ascii
A second line for good measure.
This comment contains undecodable stuff: "�" or "\\xe9" in "pass�"" cannot be decoded.
The last line above is in latin-1, with an é inside those quotes.

So, line buffering does not appear to buffer line by line.
I ran into this problem because I had a much larger file that I thought
was in utf-8. When I got the encoding error, I was annoyed that the
error message didn't really tell me which line the error was on, but I
figured, OK, I'll just set line buffering and then I'll be able to tell.
But that didn't work. Fortunately using '2' did work....but at a minimum
the docs need to be updated to indicate when line buffering really is
line buffering and when it isn't. |
