I know that "U" already has this meaning as a differently named parameter, but if I saw something like:: open(file_name, newline='U') my first intuition would be that it's some weird file format where each chunk of the file is delimited by letter U. Probably just a result of dealing with too many bad file formats though. ;-) STeVe -- I'm not *in*-sane.
