"All text is bytes, so we can do all I/O in bytes when writing resources and avoid special-casing." contradicts your earlier position: "I agree about the nonsense of opening in binary mode." If using text mode, we might lose any specific encoding used for the source script unless we do encoding-detection as the interpreter does, and preserve that across the change-shebang-and-save. Using binary does avoid this, and should be doable with simpler code, so perhaps it is preferable - as long as we do it correctly so as to avoid the TypeError :-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12386> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
