O_TEXT is not obsolete, as the behaviour is different even in a win2k. >>> a = open("ubuntu-6.06.1-server-i386.iso") >>> len(a.read()) 46424 >>> a = open("ubuntu-6.06.1-server-i386.iso", "rb") >>> len(a.read()) 453132288 I agree that the default should be Binary. Note that this would break too much in Py2, so if happens it will need to be done in Py3. BTW, I don't know if this was already discussed, approved, rejected, etc.

I agree that the default should be Binary. Note that this would break
too much in Py2, so if happens it will need to be done in Py3.

BTW, I don't know if this was already discussed, approved, rejected, etc.
