[Python-3000] Lines breaking (original) (raw)

Heh, just today I was wondering if we should kill splitlines:

$ grep splitlines find Lib -name '*.py' | egrep -v '(difflib|/test/|UserString)' | wc 24 111 1653 $ egrep 'split[^l]' find Lib -name '*.py' | egrep -v '(difflib|/test/|UserString)' | wc 916 4943 63104 splitlines() is pretty lightly used. split() has many uses (not surprising).

However, I think that splitlines should work consistently with readlines (for some definition of "consistent").

Regards, Martin
