New submission from david <da...@plasmatronics.com.au>: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/inputoutput.html#reading-and-writing- files "Windows makes a distinction between text and binary files; "the end-of-line characters in text files are automatically altered "slightly when data is read or written.
Windows does not make a distinction between text and binary files: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365430(VS.85).aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363858(VS.85).aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365467(VS.85).aspx Nor does it automatically alter end-of-line characters. It is not clear what distinction Python makes between text and binary files. Do those options do anything on any platform? Is jPython different than cPython? And does Python automatically alter end-of-line characters? ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 89487 nosy: georg.brandl, melbourne severity: normal status: open title: Error in tutorial section 7.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6301> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
