Yes. I don't like open() guessing the enconding: The default encoding is platform dependent (whatever locale.getpreferredencoding() returns) Also, I don't like sys.std* guessing the encoding: Under other platforms, the locale encoding is used (see locale.getpreferredencoding()). In each case, it would have been better to default to bytes just like subprocess does. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
