FWIW, I had proposed str.iterlines() to fix incompatibility between IO.readlines() and str.splitlines().

It's a good idea IMHO. In your mind, str.iterlines() will find only \n, \r and \r\n, as IO.readlines() do? I ask this because str.splitlines() finds all line boundary chars.

I don't remember the old discussion, but I think so. Another idea is adding some option to `splitlines()` that uses only universal newlines. (e.g. str.splitlines(keepends=False, *, ascii=False)) Then we can add `str.iterlines` that have the same arguments to `str.splitlines`. -- Inada Naoki <songofacandy@gmail.com>
