Peter added the comment: A workaround for my use case is even simpler, something like this:
try: handle = gzip.open(filename, "rt") except ValueError: # Workaround for Python 2.7 under Windows handle = gzip.open(filename, "r") However, even this is troublesome for use in documentation intended to work on Python 2 and 3, over Linux, Mac and Windows. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30012> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
