Since there is no distinction between text and binary mode on Unix, you shouldn't claim the behavior is not consistent - you get text mode. You need O_BINARY on Windows to get binary mode. O_BINARY is already documented; I've added a better link to it from the description of os.open() in r80069. Do not reopen #2028, it was not about os.open() anyway. For os.open(), as it is only a wrapper for the OS's own POSIX layer, the flags argument shouldn't be touched.
