[New-bugs-announce] [issue25045] smtplib throws exception TypeError: readline()

[Philippe Lambotte]

New submission from Philippe Lambotte:

smtplib  smtpserver.ehlo() will throw exception.
The error message : 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "snippet.email.sendmail.py", line 34, in <module>
    smtpserver.ehlo()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.2/smtplib.py", line 421, in ehlo
    (code, msg) = self.getreply()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.2/smtplib.py", line 367, in getreply
    line = self.file.readline(_MAXLINE + 1)
TypeError: readline() takes exactly 1 positional argument (2 given)

smtplib works with python 2.7, but not  with 3.2

If I remove the passed parameter, it works in 3.2 :
     line = self.file.readline()
