R. David Murray added the comment: Yes, it is intended behavior, and it is documented. The default mode for NamedTemporaryFile (and TemporaryFile) is shown in the docs as "w+b".
I suppose that used to be more convenient in python2 where there was almost no distinction between binary and text on unix, but I think we are unlikely to change the default at this point. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29245> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
