I'm not against anything in principle here, but I'd just like to point out two things: 1. Changing line break semantics would break compatibility with the current behaviour, and it would also diverge from what the `newline` parameter specifies; this may be annoying if, for example, the TextIOWrapper class is used to parse some network protocols with a rigorous line ending definition 2. It would be useful to have some input by the original designers of the IO library (the PEP lists Guido, Daniel Stutzbach and Mike Verdone, but I suppose other people were involved) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ 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
