New submission from anatoly techtonik <techto...@gmail.com>: Need to document the that os.O_BINARY flag is obligatory for cross-platform behavior of os.open() on Windows. By default os.open() opens file as binary on Unix, but as text on Windows.
See also issue2028 for discussion of making os.O_BINARY default on py3k. I can reopen this issue. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation, Library (Lib) messages: 103128 nosy: georg.brandl, techtonik severity: normal status: open title: Document os.open type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8399> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
