Assuming you mean read() on the file object that would be returned by 
calling makefile() on the socket, then the docs imply that this is the 
case, but I wouldn't call that a "guarantee".  Someone who knows the 
inner workings might have a comment on that (in which case it might make 
a good patch to the docs to clarify this issue...).
