[Python-Dev] sizehint in readlines

[Martin von Loewis]

I've added support for the sizehint parameter in all places where it
was missing and the documentation referred to the file objects section
(socket, StringIO, cStringIO). The only remaining place with a
readlines function without sizehint is in multifile.py. I'll observe
that the documentation of this module is quite confused: it mentions a
str parameter for readline and readlines.

Should multifile.MultiFile.readlines also support the sizehint? (note
that read() deliberately does not support a size argument).

Martin
