There is no canonical way to iterate through a file on chunks other than whole lines without reading the whole file into memory. Allowing the separator to be specified as an argument to file.readlines and file.xreadlines would greatly simplify the task. See here for an example interface of the useful options: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2005-February/268482.html
