Without looking at the code, it seems that

http://docs.python.org/release/3.1.5/library/io.html?highlight=io#io.TextIOWrapper

gives the answer

"If line_buffering is True, flush() is implied when a call to write contains a newline character."

So, "line buffering" may have a meaning only for writing. I don't think there is a reasonable way to implement it for reading.
