Relation to fopen() function may be documented, but there is no explanation of what "normal text mode" is. Is it really pythonic that a script writer without former experience with C, stdio and fopen should be aware of inherited fopen "behavior" when programming Python?

Relation to fopen() function may be documented, but there is no
explanation of what "normal text mode" is. Is it really pythonic that a
script writer without former experience with C, stdio and fopen should
be aware of inherited fopen "behavior" when programming Python?
