Mark Lawrence added the comment:

Could it be argued that this is a regression so the type should be behavior and 
not enhancement?

[issue18977] The -t option has no effect in for uu command-line

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

The uu module can be run as command-line tool. In Python 2, uu -t infile 
outfile opens input file in text mode, i.e. convert '\r\n' to '\n' on Windows 
and '\r' to '\n' on Mac Classic, and uu -d -t infile outfile opens output 
file in text mode, i.e. convert '\n' to '\r\n' on Windows and '\n' to '\r' on 
Mac Classic. In Python 3 this option has no effect.

The proposed patch restores former behavior and extends it. Encoding with -t 
option now uses universal newlines for reading, and decoding with -t option now 
converts '\n' to os.linesep for writing. In additional text mode now works with 
standard input/output.

This change perhaps is too large for the fix of such  insignificant bug and 
that is why I propose it as a new feature.
