Hello using current cvs Python on Linux, I observe this weird behavior of the readline() method on file-like objects returned from the codecs module:

[...] See how it breaks certain lines in half? It only happens when a certain encoding is used, so regular file objects behave as expected. Also, readlines() works fine. Python 2.3.4 and Python 2.4 do not have this problem. Am I missing something or is this a bug? Thanks!

It looks like the readline method broke at revision 1.36 of codecs.py, when it was modified, yes.
