Hi all,
if I open a file in text mode, do you know why file.seek() returns the
number of bytes, and file.tell() takes the number of bytes? I was
expecting the number of characters, like write() does:
>>> f = open('myfile', 'w')
>>> f.write('aè')
2
It seems to me not consistent, and maybe could also be error prone:
>>> f.seek(2)
2
>>> f.write('c')
1
>>> f.close()
>>> open('myfile').read()
...
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc3...
