[issue6664] readlines should understand Line Separator and Paragraph Separator characters

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

By design, readlines() only recognizes those characters which are official line separators on various OSes (\n, \r, \r\n). This is important for proper parsing of log files, internet protocols, etc.
If you want to split on all line separators recognized by the unicode spec, use str.splitlines().
