xreadlines border case

[scleary_at_jerviswebb.com at nospam.lalala]

Hello, all -

I'm a Python newbie, I'll admit, but I have a request for a change (or a
request for an explanation of why not to change :).

In the xreadlines unit, I think that once it raises an IndexError for a given
index i, it should raise an IndexError for that same i instead of a
RuntimeError.  The xreadlines object does not have to be considered indexed
"out-of-order" in this case, since the last index did not succeed.

The reason that I want this behaviour is that I'm developing a series of
algorithms that assume that once an IndexError is raised for an index, then
it always will be.

    newbie-already-trying-to-change-the-library-ly y'rs,
    -Steve
