I watched the Unix world grow up, and it ain't normal to me. I don't
think I've ever written a program that wrote binary data to standard
out, not in nearly 30 years of unix programming. I've written lots of
things whose standard out was designed specifically to be read by
another program, but never as binary data.

It's Python. You tell Python whether or not it needs to do
platform-dependent newline mangling when you open the file.
