Message 359 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

Agreed that readlines() isn't the best thing to use in the face of large binary uploads. I've added this feature request to PEP 42 (and am closing this bug report).

Removing self.lines might be more problematic, since although it's not documented as part of the public interface for FieldStorage, it is possible that existing code is using it, and that code would break.
