I have to agree with Guido. The new behavior is much better than the default in Python 2.x. It seems that I'm the first user with an use case which requires a binary stdin and stdout. I can imagine two problems with the new way. The problems should have a documented answer and best way to deal with them: * stdin or stdout are used in binary mode * stdin or stdout have to deal with data in a different encoding than UTF-8 Christian _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
