[issue1628205] socket.readline() interface doesn't handle EINTR properly

[Gregory P. Smith]

Gregory P. Smith <greg at krypto.org> added the comment:

realistically, file objects (Objects/fileobject.c) never raise EINTR as 
they use the C library fread/fwrite/fclose underneath.  Why should a 
socket based file object every be allowed to raise EINTR rather than 
handling it internally?

IMHO people should only expect to handle EINTR when doing 
socket.send/recv or os.read/write/close, not using a file-like object.
