Because if you open a file in text mode (without "b" in the mode), Python writes \n (newline) characters as \r\n (carriage return, line feed) which are the Windows textfile representation of "Newline". >From the documentation of the built in open() function, "When writing output to the stream, if newline is None, any '\n' characters written are translated to the system default line separator, os.linesep." ---------- resolution: -> not a bug _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40863> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
