New submission from Andrew Barnert: In at least one place in the io module documentation (io.IOBase.readline), and in the corresponding docstring, the newline parameter to open (and io.open, and io.Foo.__init__) is referred to as "newlines":
> The line terminator is always b'\n' for binary files; for text files, > the newlines argument to open() can be used to select the line > terminator(s) recognized. (The newline parameter is closely related to the newlines attribute of the TextIOWrapper that gets created by the open call, but they're not the same thing, and I think were named differently intentionally.) ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 223398 nosy: abarnert, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: io documentation refers to newline as newlines type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22004> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
