Georg Brandl <ge...@python.org> added the comment: Since there is no distinction between text and binary mode on Unix, you shouldn't claim the behavior is not consistent - you get text mode. You need O_BINARY on Windows to get binary mode. O_BINARY is already documented; I've added a better link to it from the description of os.open() in r80069.
Do not reopen #2028, it was not about os.open() anyway. For os.open(), as it is only a wrapper for the OS's own POSIX layer, the flags argument shouldn't be touched. ---------- resolution: -> fixed status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8399> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
