I'm pretty sure patch 2.117 to fileobject.c caused this change in
behavior. Here is the log message:
date: 2001/08/09 18:14:59; author: gvanrossum; state: Exp; lines: +6 -0
Apply anonymous SF patch #441229.
Previously, f.read() and f.readlines() checked for
errors on their file object and possibly raised an
IOError, but f.readline() didn't. This patch makes
f.readline() behave like the others.
Note that I've added a call to clearerr() since the other calls to
ferror() include that too.
I have no way to test this code. :-)
Try open("/etc").read() with 2.1. I get an IOError exception.
