>From the comment which I see in this patch ("open in unicode mode..."),
it looks like somebody intended to go towards handling file content as
unicode. Your patch reverts it towards binary. Maybe it would be better
to attempt input decoding (guessing the encoding somehow, at least
considering utf-8 and locale-preferred encoding)? I don't remember
what/how this exactly works in python3, so feel free to ignore this
remark.
(sidenote: I am fairly curious what would happen if I saved some config
files as utf-16 ;-))
