[Python-Dev] Is file.readlines(sizehint=N) broken on 2.7?

with open('test-xxx', 'w') as f:
    f.write('aaa\nbbb\nccc')
with open('test-xxx', 'r') as f:
    print(f.readlines(1))

On Python 3.3 I get:

['aaa\n']

...while on Python 2.7:

['aaa\n', 'bbb\n', 'ccc']


Is this a bug or I'm missing something?
