[issue17083] can't specify newline string for readline for binary files

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

I think readline() is quite clear in its current intent (it reads a line, which conventionally is delimited by '\n').
We mau want to add another method, say read_until_delimiter(), but it's not the same as readline() ;-) I think it would be best for it to be discussed, say on python-ideas (*), before any decision is made.
