Thanks for a quick response. Perhaps I was being unclear - in py3k, given the following code and assuming no errors arise:

> f = open("foo", "w+b")
> f.write(b'test')
> f.seek(0)
> print(f.read(4))

What is the printed result supposed to be?

i) b'test'
ii) never b'test'
iii) platform dependent/undefined/other

All the best,
