Martin v. Löwis added the comment: I'll close this issue as rejected. As discussed, changing it in 2.x would be incompatible. To change the default for open in 3.x to return bytes instead of character string (i.e. open files in binary) would require convincing Guido van Rossum, which is unlikely to happen.
