twisted.web2.wsgi.InputStream : API documentation

This class implements the 'wsgi.input' object. The methods are expected to have the same behavior as the same-named methods for python's builtin file object.

Method	__init__	Undocumented
Method	read	Read at most size bytes from the input, or less if EOF is encountered. If size is ommitted or negative, read until EOF.
Method	readline	Read a line, delimited by a newline. If the stream reaches EOF or size bytes have been read before reaching a newline (if size is given), the partial line is returned.
Method	readlines	Read until EOF, collecting all lines in a list, and returns that list. The hint argument is ignored (as is allowed in the API specification)
Method	__iter__	Returns an iterator, each iteration of which returns the result of readline(), and stops when readline() returns an empty string.

def read(self, size=None): (source)

Read at most size bytes from the input, or less if EOF is encountered. If size is ommitted or negative, read until EOF.

def readline(self, size=None): (source)

Read a line, delimited by a newline. If the stream reaches EOF or size bytes have been read before reaching a newline (if size is given), the partial line is returned.

COMPATIBILITY NOTE: the size argument is excluded from the WSGI specification, but is provided here anyhow, because useful libraries such as python stdlib's cgi.py assume their input file-like-object supports readline with a size argument. If you use it, be aware your application may not be portable to other conformant WSGI servers.

def readlines(self, hint=None): (source)

Read until EOF, collecting all lines in a list, and returns that list. The hint argument is ignored (as is allowed in the API specification)

def __iter__(self): (source)

Returns an iterator, each iteration of which returns the result of readline(), and stops when readline() returns an empty string.
