Probably a case of 'don't do that' but reading lines in a compressed files in binary mode produces bytes with invalid newlines in encodings that where '\n' is encoded as something else:

with lzma.open("test.xz", "wt", encoding="UTF-32-LE") as f:
    f.write('0 1 2\n3 4 5');

lzma.open("test.xz", "rb").readlines()[0].decode('UTF-32-LE')

Fails with:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-32-le' codec can't decode byte 0x0a in position 20: truncated data

as readlines() produces:
b'0\x00\x00\x00 \x00\x00\x001\x00\x00\x00 \x00\x00\x002\x00\x00\x00\n'
The last newline should be '\n'.encode('UTF-32-LE') == b'\n\x00\x00\x00'
