Bryant added the comment: While my original description of this issue discussed arbitrary strings, I'd like to limit the scope of this issue down to just supporting the newline parameter to builtin.open() for binary files, just as it's supported for regular files. This adds no real new functionality, just makes the treatment of the concept of a "line" consistent between binary files and regular text files, since that concept *does* exist in many cases in binary files.
Given that everyone here seems to think this is at least reasonable at this point, what would the next step be given this is somewhere between a library fix and a feature addition? I haven't contributed to Python before, but the developer FAQ mentions either python-ideas or a PEP, or should this move right towards a patch? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17083> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
