    line, or raises :exc:`StopIteration` when EOF is hit when the file is open for

    file (a very common operation), the :meth:`next` method uses a hidden read-ahead

    with other file methods (like :meth:`readline`) does not work right.  However,
    using :meth:`seek` to reposition the file to an absolute position will flush the
    read-ahead buffer.
