Hello guys,
I need to detect the newline characters used in the file I am reading.
For this purpose I am using the following code:
def _read_lines(self):
with contextlib.closing(codecs.open(self.path, "rU")) as fobj:
fobj.readlines()
if isinstance(fobj.newlines, tuple):
self.newline = fobj.newlines[0]
else:
self.newline = fobj.newlines
This works fine, if I call codecs.open() without encoding argument; I am
testing with an ASCII enghlish text file, and in such case the
fobj.newlines is correctly detected being as '\r\n'. However, when I
call codecs.open() with encoding='ascii' argument, the fobj.newlines is
None and I can't figure out why that is the case. Reading the PEP at
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0278/ I don't see any reason why
would I end up with newlines being None after I call readlines().
Anyone has an idea? You can fetch the file I am testing with from

Thanks.
