Truncated _raw field with Python SDK

Hello,

I am following the python SDK examples to pull data from a job. Here is my search code:


...
searchquery_normal = "search block | head 20"
job = service.jobs.create(searchquery_normal)
...
for result in results.ResultsReader(job.results()):
print result["_raw"]

When I get the results back I am only getting a portion of the text in the raw field. In the GUI I get the full log text, in the SDK the text truncates after the work "block". Is this normal Splunk behavior? How do I get the full line of text?
