21321	File.__iter__().chunk python3 compatibility	jeremiahsavage@…	nobody	"In testing django-downloadview for a project, I found one of it's classes, `PathDownloadView` worked with python2.7, but not with python3.3. I've made the following change to `django/core/files/base.py` in `Files.__iter()` and now I am able to use `PathDownloadView` and `StorageDownloadView`.
