New submission from Jacques Lemire <jaclem...@gmail.com>:

see this web page:
http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/stdtypes.html?
highlight=read#file.read

The description should say:
for Python 3.1 the method reads characters, for instance utf-8 
characters.

if the mode is 'rb', then it reads bytes (i.e. byte == 8 bits).

Context: Linux Ubuntu 9.10, 64 bit, compiled locally.
