Actually the problem was reported by one of the IronPython developers on behalf of another user. We stick to using the .NET file I/O and so don't have a problem. The only time it is an issue for us is our tests, where we have string literals in our test code (where new lines are obviously '\n') and we do a manual 'replace'. Not very difficult. It is just slightly ironic that the time Python 'gets it wrong' (for some value of wrong) is when you are using text mode for I/O :-) Michael > Skip > > _______________________________________________ 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
