I suggest that the hasattr test indicated in PEP-0278 is the bug,
witness:
<pre>
$ od -c dos.txt
0000000 T h i s \r \n i s \r \n a t e s t
0000020 \r \n o f t h e U n i v e r s
0000040 a l \r \n n e w l i n e \r \n s u p
0000060 p o r t \r \n p e r \r \n P E P -
0000100 0 2 7 8 \r \n
0000106
# very clearly \r\n line terminators
$ python
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:09:56)
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> hasattr(open, 'newlines')
False
>>> open('dos.txt', 'r').read()
'This\r\nis\r\na test\r\nof the Universal\r\nnewline\r\nsupport\r\nper
\r\nPEP-0278\r\n'
# yep, the \r\n line ends are there
>>> open('dos.txt', 'rU').read()
'This\nis\na test\nof the Universal\nnewline\nsupport\nper \nPEP-0278\n'
# the \r characters have disappeared
</pre>
** Changed in: python-defaults (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
