You do as long as you *don't* use universal newlines mode for reading. This is the best that can be done, because universal newlines are inherently ambiguous. If you want universal newlines, you just have to accept that you can't also have \r characters meaning something other than newlines in your files. This is true regardless of what programming language or I/O model is being used. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
