New submission from James Hutchison <jamesghutchi...@gmail.com>:
Tested on Python 3.1.2 Windows XP 32-bit
Binary strings (such as what is returned by filereader.readline()) are never
equal to raw or normal strings, even when both strings are empty
if(b"" == ""):
print("Strings are equal");
else:
if(b"" == r""):
print("raw and binary equal, normal isn't");
else:
print("they aren't equal");
output: they aren't equal
