Georg Brandl <ge...@python.org> added the comment: I'm -0 about that change.
However, I'd like to defend the original wording; it is *not* Python that makes the text/binary distinction. Python just calls fopen(), which is what portable C programs are supposed to do, with the mode it is given by the programmer in open(). Python neither ships nor owns the C library. For the Python programmer however, it is irrelevant which part of the system that Python uses has a particular behavior, he just notes that *on that system* it can be observed. How about "On Windows, a distinction is made ..."? <half-wink> ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6301> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
