[New-bugs-announce] [issue35848] readinto is not a method on io.TextIOBase

[Steve Palmer]

New submission from Steve Palmer <steve at srpalmer.me.uk>:

class io.IOBase states "Even though IOBase does not declare read(), readinto(), or write() because their signatures will vary, implementations and clients should consider those methods part of the interface. Also, implementations may raise a ValueError (or UnsupportedOperation) when operations they do not support are called."  However, even though class io.TextIOBase is described as inheriting from io.IOBase, a call to readinto method returns AttributeError exception indicating no readinto attribute, inconsistent with the documentation.
