It depends on the underlying implementation of fopen(), which, on some platforms, doesn't set the right error code for bad mode strings. Python uses some simple heuristics to try to get around this (earlier versions could give "error: no error" for this case), but they're not always able to do the right thing. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
