Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment: With 2.7 I can reproduce the issue on Windows 7 (i.e. I get a ValueError). However I'm not sure how common is to add a 'b' indiscriminately: 1) most of the times the modes are written as strings, and not generated automatically; 2) even if generated, checking if there's a 'b' is as easy as doing "if 'b' not in mode: mode = mode + 'b'".
For consistency both Windows and Linux should have the same behavior, and if the extra 'b' is not so common I think it's better if both raise an error. ---------- components: +Interpreter Core, Windows nosy: +ezio.melotti stage: needs patch -> test needed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7686> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
