O_TEXT is not obsolete, as the behaviour is different even in a win2k.
>>> a = open("ubuntu-6.06.1-server-i386.iso")
>>> len(a.read())
46424
>>> a = open("ubuntu-6.06.1-server-i386.iso", "rb")
>>> len(a.read())
453132288
I agree that the default should be Binary. Note that this would break
too much in Py2, so if happens it will need to be done in Py3.
BTW, I don't know if this was already discussed, approved, rejected, etc.
