Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Sye van der Veen (syeberman) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: _Subfile.readline( ) in mailbox.py ignoring self.stop

Initial Comment: I&#039;m using Python 2.3.3 (on Windows, but that shouldn&#039;t matter) and I&#039;ve noticed a problem with the internal _Subfile class in mailbox.py. The readline method doesn&#039;t consider self.stop if the length argument is not None. It has: if length is None: length = self.stop - self.pos when really it should have something like: if length is None or length < 0: length = remaining elif length > remaining: length = remaining which is what the read method does.
