things up in the documentation when they want the full story. reposting

Almost, but the way you phrase

no.
you should use "wb" to write *binary* files, and "rb" to read *binary*
files.
if you're working with *text* files (that is, files that contain lines of text
separated by line separa

If we ever get quantum computers, presumably "wU" will
write the newlines in all possible formats simultaneously...

Hello All,
Thanks for the response.
I use mysql and find something strange lately while load text file to
my database table using LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n',
And I found that mysql think I have '\r\r\n'. this is happened because
in one of my code I use 'w' to write element of string + '\r\n'. no

There is a conceptual difference between "text" files and other files
(which are lumped under the label "binary").
Binary files have any kind of data in them (bytes from 0 to 255) and no

It depends what you are trying to do with the file. If you are
processing it as a text file, open it as a text file, and all will be
well:
Hello thanks everyone,
It means in windows we should use 'wb' to write and 'rb' to read ?
Am I right?

Hello,
I use windows notepad editor to write text.
For example I write (in d:\myfile.txt):
Helo
World
If I open it with python:
FName = open(d:\myfile.txt,'r')
h = FName.readlines()
print h
I get h : ['Helo\n', 'World']
I thought notepad use \r\n to to end the line.
What's wrong with it
