anatoly techtonik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Thanks for the hints. It appeared that "universal text mode" is not for crossplatform but for platform-specific programming. =)
So I gave it up and ended with my own 'rb' newlines counter and 'wb' writer which inserts lines in required format. As for 2.6 io.open() http://docs.python.org/dev/library/io.html#module-io - can anybody point what's the difference between text mode with newlines='' and binary mode? - the comment about newline=<string> "If it is '', universal newline mode is enabled, but line endings are returned to the caller untranslated. If it has any of the other legal values, input lines are only terminated by the given string, and the line ending is returned to the caller untranslated." does it mean that if newline='\r\n' is specified all single '\n' characters are returned inline? _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3359> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
