If I put 100 lines of text in a file with each line having 50
characters, and I run this code:

import sys

lst = []
for line in open("aaa.txt"):
    print "an iteration"
    lst.append(line)
    break

print lst


The output is:

$ python test1.py

an iteration
['helleo haljdfladj ahdflasdjf ds hdljfalsdjfdsljfds \n']

It seems clear to me that the whole file wasn't first read into a
buffer before the code started processing the data.
