Chris Jerdonek added the comment: Is this issue just for 2.7? 3.3 was selected as the affected version, but the error message text seems limited to 2.7:
http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/0adfbafe8a99/Objects/fileobject.c#l303 The exception can be reproduced simply using 2.7: >>> open('foo', 'br') ValueError: mode string must begin with one of 'r', 'w', 'a' or 'U', not 'br' Moreover, the 2.7 documentation says that "b" must be appended (in particular occurring after "r"), which to me means that the exception and message is correct: http://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#open ---------- nosy: +chris.jerdonek _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16625> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
