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)

What is the printed result supposed to be?
i) b'test'
ii) never b'test'
iii) platform dependent/undefined/other
Good clear question. I expect i).
With 3.2 on winxp, that is what I get with StringIO, text file, and
bytes file (the first two with b's removed). I would expect the same on
any system. If you get anything different, I would consider it a bug
