Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment: > Windows has stopped to use CRLF files No, there are some places where a text file must be CRLF. To name a few: - Notepad - Visual Studio .sln files.
> Days when majority of "C" codebase actually DID process text files > AND CRLF files were used are long over and since Python is NOT > "C" it should reflect that. Actually, python 3.0 goes even further from "C": - Python mostly deals with text files - text files will return (unicode) text data, decoded with a specified encoding (by default: 7bit ascii) Many unix programs will break anyway: if they want binary data, they will have to open files in binary mode. After that, they will run on Windows with no modification. ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2028> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
